Sending sincere condolences to the Family of Ms. Jones. I had the pleasure of working with Ashley and then her Mother years later. Ms. Jones always gave me a hug and always smiled when I asked about her Grandchildren. May the memories of Ms. Karen always be dear to everyone. Sending prayers of comfort to the Family.

In my previous message, I incorrectly identified Karen's church home as "Second Presbyterian Church" instead of "Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church." Please accept my apology for the error.

I am shocked and heartbroken to learn of Karen's passing. I grew up in a small town with her where we attended school and church together. She was a friend, and I loved her. I was so proud of the woman and mother she had become as well as her dedication to CofC alumni and her service to Second Presbyterian Church. To Elsie, Carolyn and all of Karen's family, please accept my deepest condolences and know that I will keep you in my prayers. All my love.

Thank you Karen for your everlasting support and encouragement over many decades! You were one of The College´s brightest lights and greatest ambassadors. I cherish all the laughs we shared at parties, dinners and basketball games. I enjoyed every moment I spent with you - one of my favorites being the first time you held my son that afternoon on the Cistern! Rest in Peace my dear friend Xo

One of the brightest lights to ever grace the College of Charleston and its alumni association has gone out. Karen will be missed by so many of us who treasured every contact with her. No matter what was going on, she could bring a smile to your face and make you feel better. It was impossible to have a bad time in her company. RIP my old friend. You blessed Betty and me and many, many more.
