Karen D. Larsen, 87

2/04/1939 — 6/16/2026

Karen was born in Cambridge, Idaho. Her family moved to Spirit Lake when she was about 6 years old and she lived there most of her life. 

She always had a great attitude in any situation; she was so kind and sweet, and she never complained until the end. She loved her family very much. 

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Dave, and her sons, Rick and Mark. She leaves behind her sister, Anita Axtell; her daughter, Wendy (JR) Wheeler; her sons, Mike (Sarah) Larsen and Rich Larsen; grandchildren: Rachel (Zach) Gilliland, Sydney Larsen, Mavric Larsen, Olivia Larsen, Victoria Larsen, Maya Larsen; great granddaughter Kaitlin Gilliland and numerous nieces and nephews.

At her request, no service will be held. She will be deeply missed by all. Special thank you to Auburn Crest Hospice and Mountain Springs Assisted Living, where she spent her last days. 

Yates Funeral Home is entrusted with the arrangements. Karen’s online guestbook is available to sign at www.yatesfuneralhomes.com.
