Karen Denise Smith July 26, 1972 - October 03, 2016 Karen Denise Smith, also known by her loved ones as KK, peacefully passed away on October 3rd, 2016 and now resides in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. KK resiliently ran a hard-fought race that now may be over, but her legacy remains and will continue to live on in the lives of those she had the privilege of serving. Karen, despite the obstacles that she herself faced, chose to tirelessly serve the children and elderly in her community throughout her short journey here on Earth. This service included the planning of special events to bring joy to the young and old alike by the baking and preparing of treats for sports teams, students and teachers, church members, etc. and through the teaching of youngsters not only about Diabetes and the challenges facing her, but also about the Lord she served and from whom she sought strength. As our precious Karen receives her crown of righteousness, she leaves behind the following family members to continue her legacy of service in the name of Jesus Christ: husband, John Smith; parents, Felix and Linda Williams; grandfather, JC Bowen (Pawpaw); brother, Bryan Williams, his wife, Stacy, and their daughters, Madison and Kali Williams; in-laws Jerry and Joann Smith; brother-in-law, Jimmy and his wife, Lori Smith and their children Andrew and Alex McCall, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family. The family welcomes friends to attend the viewing on Friday, October 7th, 2016 from 6:00-8:00 pm and the Celebration of Life on Saturday, October 8th, 2016 at 11:00 am, both which will be held at the First Baptist Church of LaPorte, 310 S.
