Karan was born on January 17, 1966 in Sunset, LA to Voncile and Clarence Crader. She was a huge fan of the New Orleans Saints, and was always the life of the party. She loved her granddaughter Railey. Her companion, Dolly (standard Poodle), was her most prized Possession. She loved her family and friends dearly.
