Karen Denise Hudson, age 68, of Lowell, Arkansas, passed away on Thursday, October 30, 2025, in Rogers. She was born April 16, 1957, in La Mesa, California, the daughter of John Ralph and Alice Gallagher Green.
Karen had a way of making life brighter just by being herself. She was funny, hardworking, and full of heart. The kind of person who made everyone feel seen and loved. She found peace in her garden, joy in every trip to the beach, and endless happiness in the time she shared with her daughter, Sarah.
She retired from Arvest Bank after many years of dedicated service, where she was known for her caring spirit, kindness, and steadfast work ethic. Her laughter, compassion, and strength touched everyone who knew her, and her memory will continue to bring warmth to our hearts.
Karen was preceded in death by her parents and her two brothers, Scott and Mark Green. She is survived by her beloved daughter, Sarah Hudson; her sister, Debbie Coberly; three nieces, Michael Bross, Elisha Ott, and Nicole Edmonson ; three great-nieces, Bailey Bross, Sydney Bross and Alexia Ott and two great-nephews, John and Wade Edmonson
A Memorial Service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at Nelson-Berna Funeral Home in Rogers.
Karen's laughter, kindness, and love will stay with us always.
