Karen Elliott Obituary

Karen Elaine Halls Elliott, a longtime Juneau resident, left us suddenly Sunday evening. This extraordinary woman, with a heart of gold, leaves behind two loving children, Sarah Grace and Ryan Gerald Elliott, Ryan's wife Cassandra and their children, the apple of Karen's eye, and her grandchildren, Aksel Robinson and Liv Eden, her sister Jan Carol Halls, her nephew Jordan Myles Iverson, his wife, Anna Elizabeth and their two children, Ethan Aldrik and Archer Ronin, this entire community of Juneau, and all of her friends far and wide. Please come celebrate Karen's love for music and dancing at the Juneau Yacht Club at 4:30 this Thursday evening, April 14th. Let's get together and honor Karen in something fun and festive as we celebrate her passion for life.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I miss you sis! I think of you often, and wish you were still with us. The obituary spelled Jordan's last name wrong too.

Just read this, too late to attend. Ryan, Sarah, so sorry for your loss. She was a fun friend and strong woman.

We have fond memories of Karen with Sarah and Ryan at Church and Echo Ranch Bible Camp many years ago. We have pictures of her and Jordan when Karen brought him fishing on our boat. Such happy memories! Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your loved one. We know she will be sorely missed

Karen and I worked at OMB for several years together and although I didn´t know her well outside of the office, I will always remember her even temper, tenacious attitude and calming spirit. Nothing ever seemed to ruffle her thoughts.

Twenty years ago, Karen´s world orbited around her children and I´m sure it did until the day she died. Nevertheless, it is easy to imagine Karen now soaring about as an entirely free spirit, long hair flying!

I send my deepest condolences to her children. You were her reason for living. She loved you unconditionally.

Karen worked with us at Marthas Flowers when we were in the Nugget Mall about the time Ryan was born. She was a great co-worker and caring mother and a pleasure to be with. She will be missed. Lynne
