In Loving Memory of Karen Lynn Fogarty (Hamrick)
Born August 1, 1954 Springfield, Illinois
Died November 4, 2025 Slidell, Louisiana

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Karen Lynn Fogarty. She passed away peacefully at the age of 71 in Slidell, Louisiana, after a courageous battle with lung cancer.
Karen left this world surrounded by family at her sister’s home in Slidell, Louisiana. She was the loving mom of Robyn M. Gobble and Ryan E.P. Fogarty, and the proud grandmother of three beloved grandsons who brought her so much joy. She is also survived by her mother, Sandra J. Hamrick, and her siblings Julie Hursey Williams, Barbara Sansone, Janie Gulley, Shari Parker, and Mike Hamrick. She’s now reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband who passed just months before, Jimmy D. Fogarty, and her dad, Jerald K. Hamrick.
Karen was a woman of quiet strength and gentle kindness. She loved her garden, her animals, and the peaceful life she built on her little Alabama farm by the creek. Though she enjoyed living tucked away on her farm, her love for family and friends ran deep. She loved Jesus and lived her faith through simple acts of care, always ready to lend a hand, share what she had, or open her home to someone in need. For several years, she even fostered children in her home, offering them safety and warmth.
She spent her career as a nurse and later taught caregiving classes, helping others learn how to care with compassion. Karen was exceptionally bright and determined; she graduated early at the top of her class and carried that same excellence and dedication throughout her nursing career. She was fiercely independent and strong, but she also loved that Jim took such good care of her.
Karen’s life was full of quiet grace, faith, and giving. She leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and gentle strength that will live on through her family and everyone whose life she touched.
Her family finds comfort in knowing she’s at peace, surrounded by the love of those who went before her.
In her honor, plant a garden, care for an animal, or simply take a quiet walk by the water - things that brought her peace and joy.
“Mom, we love you so much and we will miss you.”
