Born to the late Arthur Lee Bell and Wanda Tate Bell, Mrs. Harvey attended Spring Hill ISD before settling in Tatum in 1984. For 13yrs Mrs. Harvey was the friendly smile who greeted the patrons of Rinkles Grocery before stepping away to indulge in her "Granna" duties full time. Karen was known for her generosity, always opening her home to anyone for holiday meals or just when someone needed a safe, warm place to stay. She enjoyed road trips with her daughters and the beach was her happy place.
