Amy and I were blessed to have known Karen and Richard. Meeting Troy at Sunday School and working with Kim they invited us to family gatherings. Karen was always welcoming and her love for family and friends was always a shining part of her sparkling personality. Karen sold my home for me in the mid 2000s, that’s when I realized this woman was fantastic at her job. 

Karen and Richard did a wonderful job in raising their sons. As we got to know the whole family we knew they had been raised to respect and follow God’s word. That’s a blessing we can all hope we’re remembered for, if anything at all. 

Karen leaving this world is not a loss but a gain. A gain that we know, being saved by the grace of God, we’ll all meet again. God bless and comfort the Unland families. 

So sorry for your loss. I delivered meals On Wheels to Karen every Friday and she was always so happy to see me. She enjoyed the meals with a few exceptions but was always grateful to get them. Her passing came as a shock to me although lately she often told me she wasn't feeling well and some days needed to sit down. I will really miss her and her delightful attitude.

To the Unland Family,

We are so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing.  I know she was a fine Mother, not only because we worshipped together, also the witness  of each of you, her children speak volumes.   
Karen and her late husband faithfully attended Sunday School at GreenHBC during our times of attendance.   They were always pleasant, present, ready to serve.  Karen was joyful, while her presence always put forth a most friendly, enjoyable welcome.   To each of you, her dearly loved ones, 
BE  STILL  MY  SOUL:  WHEN  DEAREST  LOVED  ONES  DEPART    
AND  ALL  IS  DARKENED  IN  THE  VALE  OF  TEARS,
THEN  SHALT  THOU  BETTER  KNOW  HIS  LOVE,  HIS  HEART
WHO  COMES  TO  SOOTHE  THY  SORROW  AND  THY  FEARS
BE  STILL,  MY  SOUL;  THY  JESUS  WILL  SURELY  COMFORT
FROM  HIS  OWN  FULNESS  ALL  HE  TAKES  AWAY.

Warmly and prayerfully,
Mr.  &  Mrs.  LaValley

I am so sorry for the family's loss. I know how much she loved each and every one of you and you loved her. 

Karen was a great Christian and a wonderful friend. She was like a second mother to me. When my mother passed away in 2020 karen was a true friend to me. My prays are with the Unland family at this time Mike Pope. 

Phillip and I are so sad to see this. We thought a lot of Karen and Richard. We went to church together for several years, were  in the same Sunday School Class. Karen was just the best. Our children knew each other. We send our thoughts, love and prayers to the family. I know this has got to be very hard on them as they loved their Mom so much. Rest high on that mountain Karen. We loved you and we love your family. 

Aaron and I have many fond memories of Karen.  She always considered Aaron as her 5th son.  She sold us our first Tennessee home after we moved back here.  I remember she was so excited that she found that house for us!  In one of the bedrooms of that house was our daughter's name, but spelled Alicia.  She said, "Oh, look, it's meant to be!" We always looked forward to her homemade fudge every Christmas!  She was a wonderful woman! She always had a smile on her face.  She was so cute when she got excited about things!  She will be missed!  Our condolences!

Miss Karen I am so shocked to hear of this now go rest easy. We will miss you . Love the Tuverson/Sisco family
