Karen Ann Pifer, age 69 of Hickory Corners, passed away on November 29, 2024. Karen was born on January 26, 1955 in Grand Rapids to William and Rose (Luckner) Seymour.
Always one to stay busy, Karen found joy in yard sales, flea markets, and the company of her cats. She relished the moments spent with family, dining at a good steakhouse, watching movies, or enjoying a game of bingo.
Karen was preceded in death by her beloved parents, William and Rose Seymour, her husband Gerald Pifer Jr., and her daughter Tina Pifer. Her legacy continues through her sons, Gerald III, Michael, and Matthew with his wife Chandra; her siblings, Sherry (Steve) Gustafson, Rosalie Jorgensen, and Bill (Kathy) Seymour; and her cherished grandchildren, Gerald IV, James, Layne, Anita, Preston, Nataile, Samson, and Emmalyn.
Per Karen's wishes, a graveside service will be held in the spring of 2025
