Karen Kathleen Whitmarsh

Karen Kathleen Whitmarsh went peacefully to Glory on August 20, 2024, in Rawlins Wyoming, surrounded by her daughter Monica and friend and caregiver Dianna Lytle. Karen will be laid to rest next to her husband Eugene (Bear) Whitmarsh in Rosalia WA.

She was a very faithful woman of God and a very caring lady. She took her niece and nephews into her home and helped raise them. She loved taking long drives and seeing the countryside. She loved children and loved babysitting them. She loved sitting on the deck watching the birds. She faithfully read her bible everyday and loved the Lord. She affected and contributed to countless people's lives and has been faithfully rewarded for this. 

Karen was born in Hawarden, IA on September 2, 1943, to Thomas Howard Muth and Hazel Marie Muth.

Karen is survived by her brothers Marlo (Della) Muth and Lenneth (Edna). Her four children, three daughters, Monica Warner (Postlethwaite) and husband Clint Postlethwaite. Lisa Warner, Heather Whitmarsh (Durrance) and Son Brian Whitmarsh. Karen has six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. 

Due to Karen’s husband Eugene’s health they moved from Selah, WA to live with their daughter, Monica and her family in Arlington, WA. After Eugene’s passing, she continued to live with Monica and Clint and moved with them to Rawlins Wyoming. Karen was very much loved by her family and friends and will be greatly missed.

Karen was preceded in death by her Parents, Brothers Wendell, Homer, and Lennis, sisters Madeline, and Rhonda. Her first husband Richard Warner and second husband Eugene Whitmarsh with whom she had a very blessed 40-year marriage.
