Karen Leigh Carver

In Loving Memory of Karen Carver
Karen Carver was born on January 10, 1947, in Everett, Washington, to Willard and Maxine Buttke. She passed away on September 28, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of love, memories, and people whose lives were touched by her kindness.

Karen was a loving mother to Lori, Rusty (Julie), and Chris (Eddie). Her family was one of the greatest joys of her life. She was also a proud grandmother to Jessica, Cameron, Jamie (Jesus), PJ, Colton, and JJ, and a loving great-grandmother to Jaelyn, Dominic, and Kai. She loved her family deeply and treasured every moment she shared with them.

Karen shared a special life and love with her husband, Jim. Together, Karen and Jim ran C&P Wood Products, building a life filled with hard work, family, memories, and love. They shared many years together until Jim passed away in 2017. Their love and the memories they made together will always remain a cherished part of Karen’s story, and we find comfort knowing they are together again.

Karen was a truly kind and loving person. She had a heart for everyone and had a way of making people feel welcome and cared for. She always had a smile, and her warmth could brighten even the hardest day. She gave her love freely and never needed much in return.

Karen had a special love for strawberry decorations and snowmen. These little pieces of her personality brought her happiness and became part of the memories her family will forever cherish. Whenever her loved ones see a strawberry decoration or a snowman, they will be reminded of Karen and the joy she brought into their lives.

Karen leaves behind a family who will miss her more than words can express. Her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family, and friends will carry her memory forward through the stories they tell, the traditions they keep, and the love she gave them.

Though our hearts are broken by her passing, we can be grateful for the years we were blessed to have her. Karen’s smile, kindness, love, and beautiful spirit will never be forgotten.

Rest peacefully, Karen. You were loved beyond measure, and your memory will live on forever in all of us. Until we meet again.
