Kara was born in Muncie on April 25, 1961, to John and Nancy Nicewander. Kara attended Wes-Del Community School throughout her childhood and would later go on to explore her passion for cosmetology, where she would become a licensed beautician, a passion she would go on to instill in her first child, Casey. Kara found her true love and passion in being a mother to her children, Casey, Jamie, and Nathan Featherston.
Kara is survived by her sons, Jamie (Tiffany) Featherston and Nathan Featherston; mother, Nancy Nicewander; sister, Judith Nicewander; grandchildren, Brooke and Dylan Krebs, Shelby and Josiah Featherston, and Kayla Fuller; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Kara is preceded in death by her husband, Jeff; father, John Nicewander; daughter, Casey Divine Featherston; sister, Debbie Tuttle.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to ARF, as Kara's passion and love for animals arguably outweighed that of humans.
