Karen Sue Long
September 8, 1947 — April 3, 2020
Karen Sue Long, 72, passed away April 3, 2020, with her family by her side at her home in Eastview, Kentucky.
At her request, no service will be held.
Karen was born September 8, 1947 in San Diego, California, to Sam and Betty (Barnett) Cotner. She grew up in Fontana, California. She married Jimmy (Jim) Long on October 1, 1963 in Fontana, California. Together they raised 2 sons and 1 daughter. Karen was a homemaker until their youngest child was around 10 years old. She spent most of her career in California working for San Antonio Hospital in Fontana as a house keeper. There she met life long friends and enjoyed her independence of being able to be in the workforce. In 1993, Karen and her husband Jim relocated to Hodgenville, Kentucky. She continued her career in housekeeping services, retiring from Hardin Memorial Hospital. Karen enjoyed simple pleasures; spending time with friends and family, and having those she loved over for a good meal. You could guarantee that you'd never leave hungry! Karen was always thinking of others. She had an infectious warm, kind, giving spirit that others were drawn to. During the last few years of her life Karen was baptized; reestablishing her connection with Christ. Her love and devotion to her family fills our hearts with nothing but beautiful memories.
Karen is preceded in death by parents, Sam and Betty Cotner, her sister Sandra (Sandy) Cotner , her brothers Michael and Joe Cotner, and her husband Jimmy Long.
Karen is survived by her sons and their spouses John and Deanna Long, Mark and Lisa Long, and her daughter Kathleen (Kathy) Pendleton; her 8 grandchildren and their spouses Jennifer and Justin Parker, Amber and Robert Stevenson, Nicole Pendleton, Austin Pendleton, Justin Long, Adam and Celeste Long, Katrina Long and Nick Long; her 7 great-grandchildren Ava and Owen Parker, Mira Snyder, Samuel Fair, Abagail Pendleton, Avery Pendleton and Adalyn Pendleton.
The family of Karen wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Amanda Chism, Dr. Lynn Parker, Dr. Ben Cundiff, and the staff at Hosparus.
