As a hairdresser, she not only transformed appearances but also gifted her clients with a listening ear and a warm heart. Known for her great sense of humor, Karen lit up any room and made those around her feel cherished and understood. Her spiritual nature and wise counsel made her a confidante to many, and she took great joy in nurturing those bonds.

Karen was much more than her career; she poured her passion into myriad interests. An extraordinary cook, she had the remarkable ability to create delicious meals that brought family and friends together, transforming ordinary gatherings into celebrated feasts. Her talent as an herbalist revealed her deep connection to nature, and she found immense joy and peace in her garden, where she loved to put her hands in the dirt, cultivating life and beauty.

Above all, Karen's proudest accomplishments were her family and the connections she fostered with friends and Mother Earth. She was the loving wife of William Wallace, with whom she shared a profound partnership filled with love and support. Together, they raised two sons, Larry Elliott and Steven Elliott, who carry on her legacy of compassion and strength. Her granddaughter, Angeleah Elliott, brought Karen immeasurable joy. She raiser her since she was an infant and she took every opportunity to nurture and encourage Aneleah's growing spirit.

Karen was preceded in death by her loving parents, William and Mary Ruth Jones, who instilled in her the values of kindness and nurturing toward others. The love and lessons she received from them were woven into the very fabric of her life. She is also preceded by her brother, Dave Jones whom she was very close to.

As we remember Karen Wallace, we celebrate the wisdom, humor, and kindness she shared so generously. Her spirit will continue to inspire and guide her family and friends, reminding us all to cherish every moment and remain connected to the beauty of life. Though she has left this earthly realm, the warmth of her love and the lessons she imparted will forever remain in our hearts.
