Karen Lee Parkinson's Obituary
With heavy hearts, we said our farewells to a loving wife, mother, sister and friend, who
passed away of natural causes, December 11, 2022.
Born April 7, 1956 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Edward W. Graham and Dorothy C. Graham.
Karen arrived just a few minutes before her identical twin Sharon, and the two blonde
haired, blue eyed cuties completed our family!
Karen graduated from West High school and later met and married, her sweetheart,
David Parkinson.
Together they blended their families, Jennifer, Toni, Michael, Erin and Heather.
Karen is survived by her husband Dave, a son; Michael, and daughters, Jennifer, Erin
Heather, and ten much loved grandchildren. Her brother; Steve Graham (Shannon),
sisters; Sue Hansard, and Cindy Szugye (Paul), and many nieces and nephews. Her dear lifelong friend, Julie Amador, whom she loved as a sister.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her son; Toni, brother; Michael, twin sister;
Sharon and in-laws; Dale and Zona Parkinson.
Karens wishes were to be cremated, and a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
