Karen Ann Martin
February 11, 1944 - August 15, 2014
Karen Ann Martin was granted her angel wings on August 15th 2014. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Karen had touched during her short, yet very memorable life. Karen Martin’s life would seem too short by many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Karen’s reassuring smile and humble presence will be a memorable gift. She gave us all such courage and hope and reminded us of the preciousness of life. Karen spent 42 years coming up through the ranks, becoming an operational manager for Kaiser Hospital; proving to us that hard work pays off. Karen loved to be with family, her three grandchildren and animals. Karen Martin is survived by her loving husband of 48 years, Manny Martin; daughter Deanna,and son, Steven; sister Sandi Detata and brother, Michael Burrows; daughter- in- law Tara Martin, and three grandchildren: Grayson, Logan and Gabriella. Karen is preceded in death by her parents, Ben and Anita Burrows. A Prayer Vigil will be held on Sunday, August 31, at St. Raymond’s Church in Dublin at 7:00 p.m. A Celebration of Life Mass will be held Monday, September 1, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Raymond’s.
