Karen was 73 years young when God took her home to be with the love of her life and husband of 30 years, Bob Walter. She excelled at any endeavor she put her head to. She had a thirst for knowledge, had many college degrees, and was a professor at the college for many years. Karen was one of the first women police officers in Pearland. She was an active reader and helped open the adult reading center in Pearland and volunteered with them as much as she could. She was an entrepreneur and a member of the American Business Women’s Association. Though she did many wonderful things, Karen took the most pride in her family. She was extremely family oriented and was viewed as a hero in her family. Her sisters say she was a great sister and mother figure in their lives. Karen was an amazing mother, sister, grandmother and wife, and was the glue that held her family together. She was a very honest, generous and loving, and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
