It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Karen Marie Marshall, beloved wife, sister, aunt, friend and pet parent to many. She departed this life on October 19, 2026, at the age of 73. Born on August 9, 1953, in Corona, California, Karen grew up cherishing the warmth of family and community. She spent her life dedicated to serving others, exemplifying kindness and compassion in every role she held.

Karen’s jobs as a custodian, cashier and manager led her to become a customer care specialist. Her dedication to hard work, kindness and humor left a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to know her. Residing in Saint Charles, Missouri, Karen was a nurturing presence in the lives of her loved ones and took joy in her time spent with family and friends. She is survived by her loving husband, Ronald Marshall, whose unwavering support and companionship illuminated her life.

Karen was preceded in death by her parents Ernest Miller, Jean Miller, her stepfather Marshall Dugan and her sisters Annette and Jeanette.

Karen will be remembered for her kind heart, laughter, and the genuine love she shared with those around her. Her legacy of compassion will continue to inspire all who knew her.
