Karen attended high school in Blanket where she was a multi-sport athlete. One of her proudest accomplishments was being part of the state champion track team. She later graduated from Merkel high school. After high school, Karen married her high school sweetheart Eddie Bundick with whom she had 3 sons. Karen worked at several places over the years including Safeway, Blanket high school cafeteria and 3M. She married Sam Henderson in 2000 to whom she was happily married until his death in 2018. She took pride in being part of her community, being on the Blanket City Council and Lions Club.

Karen was someone who never spoke a bad word about another person.  Her compassion was only matched by her patience. Her first thoughts were always of her kids and later her grandkids. There was never a sacrifice she wouldn’t happily make to provide for her family. She leaves behind a legacy of love.
