Karen Annette Williams Smith, 63 of Biscoe, entered the presence of her Lord and Savior on April 8, 2018. She was the daughter of W.L. (Bud) and Faye Williams. Karen was a farmer’s wife, a homemaker, and a member of the Biscoe First Assembly of God Church. She graduated from De Valls Bluff High School where she and her husband served as homecoming king and queen.
Karen gave her life to serving others. Her love of Jesus Christ and her study of his word was an example to many. Karen taught Sunday School, served as secretary and treasurer at her church, volunteered in the church nursery, as well as help celebrate the weddings and baby showers of many friends, family and church members.
Those left to cherish her memories are her husband of 44 years, Kent; her children, Brandon and wife, Amy, and Heather and husband, Charlie Brown. Known best as “Nana” to her four grandchildren, Jenna, Hayden, Preslee and Bowen Brown. She deeply loved and adored them all and dedicated her life to them. Karen was a “second mom and nana” to many and leaves a large loving family.
Karen was preceded in death by both of her parents, her brother, Larry and grandparents, Bob and Emma Coulson and Neely and Irene Williams.

So sorry for Karen’s passing but happy she is the arms of Jesus. Prayers for Kent, children and grandchildren. You will be missed.
Karen and I were friends from early childhood, all thru school, raised our kids together and continued on thru our adults being the best of friends. She always had that sweet smile just like her Mom had. When she found out she had this cancer she didn’t give up. She was such a witness for Christ and encouraged many people to seek the Lord! Rest In Peace my fiend because you earned those wings you are now wearing! Love ❤️ you! See you again some day!
