Karen Hays Obituary

Karen passed away in the comfort of her home on January 3, 2018. Karen leaves behind her partner Cheryl Lewis and her pups Raz, Beau, and Jax. Karen was originally from Dallas where she attended SMU. She came to New Orleans in the late 60's. Nobody loved this city more than Karen and she always called it her home. Karen found great pleasure in decorating, cooking, gardening, music, reading and spending time with her friends. In keeping with Karen's wishes she will not be having a memorial service. Thanks to Connie Bruno, Barbara Gubala and many other friends and family for your support and care.

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