Karen K. Teaters-Pugh
Evansville, Indiana
At 4:45pm on February 14, 2014, Karen K. Teaters-Pugh departed this world at Parkview Nursing Home surrounded by family and friends. Karen was born on June 7, 1941, in Rock Island, Illinois. She obtained her B.S. in education from Eastern Illinois University and M.S.W. from Indiana University. Karen spent many years as a Psychiatric Social Worker, having been employed at Mulberry Center, Southwestern Indiana Mental Health Center, Larue D. Carter Hospital, and the Monroe County Youth Shelter. She had served with the American Red Cross Swim Health Unit and was a member of the NASW and the ACSW. Karen had also attended New Bethel Baptist Church. She enjoyed making greeting cards, bowling, dancing, and playing cards. She also enjoyed making jewelry and was the owner of the Purple Moon Beadery. Above all else, family was most important to Karen. She was much beloved, and we already miss her very much.

Love, prayers and blessings to Karen's family. I already miss her. She was a wonderful friend, fellow social worker, and sister in Christ. I believe she would want her family to know how much she loved each of you and how she prayed for you and longed for each of you to have a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. So very happy I will only miss her for a little while. Love you Karen.

I am among many who were so saddened to hear of our friends passing. Karen was a sweetheart and we all loved having her with us. She was an inspiration to us all and she was the bravest lady I know. We will all miss her and love her. And we will always share our memories of her and our good times together, scrappin' and shoppin'. Her husband was a dream, so good to her and we all loved to see him come and go. He was sweet to her always. God bless you both. She loved him and her kiddos so much. We loved to see her creations. And her smile.
