Karen Jordan Kennedy
June 17, 1959 — December 1, 2017
Karen Jordan Kennedy, age 58, died December 1, 2017 in Midtown Medical Center Hospital surrounded by her family.
Karen Leah Jordan was born June 17, 1959 to Milton and Peggy (Clark) Jordan. She dreamed of a career in the medical field but put that dream aside to pursue her greatest joy, the raising of two daughters and a son. On June 29, 2001 she married her sweetheart, Darrel Jack Kennedy, and gained another son and daughter. In 2010, now enjoying her grandchildren, Karen returned to the pursuit of a degree in nursing. Enjoying a remission from her autoimmune disease, she embraced a new lease on life and completed a certification in phlebotomy. This was an exciting and fulfilling time in her life. "Kakee", as her nephews and grandchildren called her, treasured each of the kids' unique personalities. She loved to find gifts that perfectly suited them as individuals.
Karen is survived by her husband, Darrel Jack Kennedy, mother, Peggy Clark Brooks, and sister Janet (Kirby) Dockery. Her five children, Kara (Joe) Bowden, Amy (Ted) Carlson, Kevin (Ashley) Gillis, Kristen (Jeremy) Earn, and Russell (Brianne) Kennedy will raise Karen's nine grandchildren to remember that they were fiercely loved and cherished by their grandmother. Karen was preceded in death by her grandparents, Elizabeth and Hamilton Clark and Wylma and Cecil Jordan. She is also now joyfully reunited in heaven with her father, Milton Leverett Jordan and her brother Milton "Mickey" Leverett Jordan Jr.
Family and friends whose lives were touched by Karen are invited to Pierce Chapel United Methodist Church located at 5122 Pierce Chapel Rd Midland, GA 31820, at 4:00 on Wednesday, December 6, 2017 to reminisce and support each other.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to www.youcaring.com/karenkennedy-991430. All donations made in Karen's memory will be used to ease the burden of her significant medical bills.
Karen's family wishes to give special thanks to all those who have already donated privately or through GoFundMe and Youcaring. Your gifts of love have meant a great deal to us and helped to make her last days more comfortable.
