Karen Lime Obituary

Karen Sue (Franklin) Lime, 77, of Fort Wayne, Ind., passed away on August 7, 2024, at Peabody Retirement Community. She was born October 31, 1946 in Willard, Ohio to the late Chester M. and Laura M. (née Garen) Franklin. Karen graduated from Willard High School and spent the majority of her career in the Financial Services sector, retiring from Midwest America Federal Credit Union as Collections Manager.

Karen had many hobbies, interests and passions including gardening, holistic health, massage therapy, crafting, knitting, and sewing but cherished time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren the most. Although simple, she was a generous, independent woman that was intentional in all she did, and lived sacrificially as a single mother, often working multiple jobs to provide and care for her family.

Karen is survived by her loving and devoted son, Mark (Jennifer) Lime; beloved grandchildren, Allison (Tate) Study, Kaitlynn (Cody) Shepherd, and Laura Kai Lime; great-grandchildren, Addison, Chloe, Evan, and Noah; brother, Benjamin Franklin; and several cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sister, Cheryl (Jack) Pfanner; and former husband, Danny Lime.

Friends and family will be received from 1 - 4 PM, on Saturday, August 17, 2024 at D.O. McComb & Sons Funeral Homes - Pine Valley, 1320 E. Dupont Rd., Fort Wayne. In lieu of flowers, Memorial Contributions may be directed to the ALS Association of Fort Wayne, PO Box 37022, Boone, IA 50037-0022.
