She leaves behind her husband, Patrick Osburn and her son, Darrell Klink. Karen was born on July 22, 1963 in Honolulu, HI, to father George Brouillette and mother Roe Brouillette. She grew up in a large, loving family with one sister and three brothers. Karen married Patrick Osburn on December 5, 2003, in Ashdown, AR. Karen was a driven professional with a love of novels and cross stitch . When diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, she remained dedicated in her work and in her will to fight her illness.
