Karen Anderson died at her home on Dec. 19, 2024 surrounded by family at the age of 78.
Karen was the wife and “secret weapon” of George, her devoted husband of 56 years. Karen was the loving mother of Beth Anderson of Sacramento, Sally Anderson Hansell of Hermiston (husband Tyler), and William Anderson of La Grande (wife Sarah). Her five beloved grandchildren gave her great joy: Hunter, Tyler, Anna, Mabel, and Eleanora.
She sang like an angel and always said that music is a gift you give yourself. She prided herself on hard work. Her garden was beautiful. She was always game for a new adventure. She is deeply missed.
An Episcopal service will be held at a later date.
Please share memories of Karen with her family at burnsmortuaryhermiston.com.
Burns Mortuary of Hermiston is in care of arrangements.
