Karen "Jodi" Hagen

Age 63 of White Bear Lake

Passed away suddenly on November 10, 2025. For 35 years, Karen dedicated her life as a home health aide, providing compassionate care to those in need. Her commitment to helping others extended beyond her professional life; she was a loving wife, mom, grandma, and great grandma as well. Karen found beauty in the simplest of things: nature, in all its forms. Whether it was collecting rocks, sand, or shells during her adventures, or her unwavering commitment to save even the tiniest insect, her love for the environment was deep and genuine. She appreciated the beauty around her and shared that appreciation through her artwork. In addition to being a talented artist, Karen was known for being an incredible cook. Her kindness knew no bounds, and she will be remembered as a loving soul who touched the lives of many. Preceded in death by her mom, Barbara; brother, Rick Little; sister, Lisa Lindberg (Apman). Will be dearly missed by husband of 35 years, Brian Hagen; dad, Robert Apman; son, Donovan and his children, Alec, Hannah (Kevin), and Cole; daughters, Cherre (Jai) and her children Elijah (Melanie), Vic, Miles, and Emma; Libby (Joey) and her children Julea (and Julea's children, Malikai & Liam), Bella, Sophia, AJ, and Aubrey; Angelica and her son James; siblings, Dennis (Becky) Little, Sherrie (Dan) Little, and Shelly (Tom) McCartan; her dog, Shiloh; and her many nieces & nephews, other relatives and friends. Celebration of Life will be held 6pm Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025 at Mueller Memorial, 4738 Bald Eagle Ave., White Bear Lake, with visitation starting at 4pm. In lieu of flowers, and due to her love of nature, please consider getting a memorial tree planted in Jodi's name.
