Karen was a 1967 graduate of Fort Mill High School and attended York Tech. Karen was a supportive and encouraging mother and wife. In her early marriage, she worked diligently to support her husband, Danny Alsup, as he studied at Gardner Webb College, Boiling Springs, NC and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Tx. She lived a life of sacrifice to serve her Lord, her family and friends. She faithfully served at several churches in the greater Charlotte and Columbia areas and was a member of Lifeway Church in York. She made time for ceremonies, ball games, and music performances supporting her children and grandchildren while working full time in various insurance companies. She instilled lessons of faith and value for family as she lived every day of her 64 years.

Karen's legacy of love for God, family and friends will live on for those who knew her well. She is remembered with love by her children: Jimmy and Ruth Alsup, Betsy and Rob Campos all of York, SC and Amy and Jim Hess of Hastings, MI, and her grandchildren: Caleb, Hannah, Anna, Philip, Lainey, Jacob, Danielle, Elizabeth and Daniel. Family members, from in laws to cousins, nieces, nephews and treasured friends, grieve her passing but celebrate her home going. Karen joined her husband of 26 years, Danny, her mother and father, Jim and Annie Lou Marlow, and sister, Lynn, at Jesus feet.

She is present with Christ, but her stories of His love and faithfulness carry on as long as they are shared with others. Karen seldom met a stranger. If someone met her, chances are they will know at least one of her stories and smile.
