Karen Mae (Morris) Vella

Karen was an awesome artist who loved her hobbies of quilting, crafts, gardening and puzzles. Karen was an amazing wife, mother and grandmother who left to soon. She was so loved and will be dearly missed

Those left behind to cherish Karen's memory include her husband Wayne Vella Sr.; four children; Wayne Jr., Raeanne, Sherry and Gary; seven grandchildren, Joshua, Kara, Justin, Kolby, Michael, Grace and Andrew; and one great granddaughter, Stella.

A receiving of family and friends to celebrate Karen's life will be held from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Friday, August 4, 2023 at Kirksey Funeral Home.

While many say heaven gained an angel in Karen's case she was an angel on earth who has gone home. Until we meet again we all know we have a guardian angel looking after us.

Kirksey Funeral Home of Morganton has the honor of serving the family.
