Karen Wills-Pauly

Born on January 31, 1951 in Lynwood, California to Esther and Thomas Wills, Karen lived a life defined by purpose.

Karen was a devoted wife to her late husband, William G. Pauly, Jr., with whom she shared 37 beautiful years of marriage before his passing. Their life together was marked by laughter and traveling to faraway places.

Throughout her life, Karen was a freight coordinator for Mark VII International. Beyond her professional accomplishments, she was passionate about supporting the Houston SPCA, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Wounded Warriors. Those who knew her will always remember her for easy-going disposition and the love of her step-grandsons.

Karen was preceded in death by her beloved husband William G. Pauly, Jr.; her parents, Esther and Thomas Wills; her oldest brother, Tom Wills; and her sister, Kathy Wills. She leaves behind to cherish her memory her brother Michael Wills and wife; her step-son William G. Pauly III and wife; step-daughter, Stacey Pauly; step-grandsons Bill and Mark Pauly; cousin, Charles Sevilla; sister-in-law, Katie Wills; two nephews, Jonathan and Kristofer Wills; and two great-nieces, and several aunts and uncles.

Karen's loving spirit will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. As she rejoins her husband, parents, and siblings, may she rest in eternal peace.
