Ever wonder why flowers bring such comfort during difficult times? Science shows they naturally soothe our minds, trigger positive memories, and speak the language of love when words feel impossible. Sometimes the most beautiful traditions have the deepest wisdom.

Karen Wilson

Karen Yvonne Epperson Wilson, 72, beloved mother, Nana, sister, and aunt, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2025, at Deaconess Gateway Hospital, surrounded by her loving family who cherished every moment with her.

Karen was born on November 23, 1953, in DeWitt, Arkansas, and later moved with her family to Henderson, Kentucky. She dedicated over 20 years of her life as the administrator of Henderson Manor Nursing Home, where she compassionately cared for countless residents.

Karen had a passion for travel and adventure, often journeying across the United States with her children and grandchildren, collecting pottery along the way. A gifted artist and crafter, she loved to paint, sew, and quilt-there wasn't a craft she hadn't tried. Her hand-crafted Christmas ornaments were treasured gifts by all who received them.

Above all, Karen's greatest joy in life was being a Nana. She created cherished memories during sleepovers, playing dress up, and the tradition of sharing "bedtime chocolate." Her legacy lives on in the strength, love, and stubborn spirit she instilled in her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Billy Wayne and Faye Epperson, and her brother, Billy Wayne Epperson Jr. Karen is survived by her brother Rick (Amy) Epperson; her children, Josh (Samantha) Moore and Amanda Phillips; her grandchildren, Taylor, Addison, and Hailey Moore, Tyler, Molly, and Ella Phillips, and Presley Meadows; her great-grandchild, Maximus Nunn; as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, a great-niece, and a great-nephew.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, September 20th, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Tomblinson Funeral Home Henderson Chapel, with a memorial service to follow at 1:00 p.m with Bro. Jason Cowan officiating.

The family would love to hear your stories and adventures with Karen. Please share your memories to nanakaren.stories@gmail.com
