Karen Dosa Obituary
Born on December 27, 1950, in Tacoma, Karen was the daughter of Gene and Betty Dosa. She graduated from Wilson High School and remained a proud member of the community throughout her life.
For more than 27 years, Karen made her home at The Village Senior Living in Tacoma. There, she was lovingly cared for by the dedicated staff and formed many lifelong friendships that brought joy and companionship to her daily life. Her time at The Village became an important chapter filled with connection and comfort.
Karen found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed shopping trips, working on puzzles, reading books, going to the Puyallup Fair, and frequent conversations on the phone that kept her close to those she cared about.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Gene and Betty Dosa, as well as her brothers Dick, Don, and David. She is remembered with love by her nephew Ryan (Michelle) Dosa; nieces Sara (Wayne) Dosa, Lyn (Eric) Olson, and Cathy (Bill) Burton; along with many great-nieces and nephews and great-great-nieces and nephews who carry forward her memory.
May Karen's memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.

I´m so sorry to hear of Karen´s passing. She was my sisters age but I always remember seeing her at Jane´s house, or walking somewhere. I once saw her walking in the rain and offered her a ride. She looked at me with concern and wondered if I was old enough to drive! Such a Sweet Kind Soul
