Karen was an avid gardener, creating the most beautiful flower garden for any season. She could always be found out in the yard encouraging the flowers to bloom and pulling weeds from around them. She loved to plant and share vegetables and fruit with others at their church.
Karen loved spending time with her family, especially her grandkids. She could always be found making little cookies and treats with the kids
Karen’s life was dedicated to serving others in her community by spreading the love of Jesus to all she encountered. She had a heart for missions, especially in Ecuador, where God called her to serve many times.
Karen Wilson-Miller, lovingly known as Kay, passed away on April 20, 2024, at the age of 80. She was born on August 8, 1943, in Columbus, Indiana, and most recently resided in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Kay had a passion for gardening and delighted in tending to her beautiful flower garden throughout the seasons. She took great joy in sharing the fruits of her labor, often gifting vegetables and fruits to fellow church members. Kay's green thumb extended to her love for nature, where she found solace in the outdoors.
Above all, Kay cherished spending time with her family, particularly her grandkids. She would often be found baking little cookies and treats with them, creating cherished memories. Her dedication to her faith led her to serve her community, spreading the love and teachings of Jesus. She held a special place in her heart for missions, particularly in Ecuador, where she answered God's call to serve on numerous occasions.
Kay achieved a Masters in Nursing and dedicated her professional career to caring for others. Her compassion and gentle touch left a lasting impact on those she served.

Kay is survived by her husband, Bruce, her sister Janet, and her loving children, Diane, Marybelle, and Bruce Jr. She was the proudest grandmother of eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Kay's life motto was "God's purpose, God's plan." Her unwavering faith and commitment to serving others will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her. She will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and community.
