Karen Paulsen Andrews Obituary (1966

Karen Andrews, loving mother and dedicated grandmother, passed away on December 13, 2020. She was born on August 11, 1966 in Provo, Utah to Harold Eugene and Janet Brian Paulsen. Karen was our dad’s little princess. Growing up with three brothers wasn’t always easy, but Karen quickly figured out how to hold her own! While growing up she was active in both dance and baton competitions. She attended Provo City Schools and graduated from Provo High School. As she married and struggled to have her own children, Karen was a loving aunt and second mom to many of her nieces and nephews. Once her daughters came, her life transformed and she became an amazing mother and friend to her own three princesses. She helped support the family by working as a dental assistant. In 2018, her grandson Tatum was born, adding a whole new measure of joy to her life. Karen’s sole purpose was to make sure her daughters and grandson were surrounded by love and support. So many friends and family love Karen and will miss her deeply. At this time, our thoughts and prayers are particularly focused on her cherished daughters and dear mother. Karen is survived by her three beautiful daughters: Danaka, Brianna, and Madison; one adorable grandson, Tatum; and ex-husband, David Andrews. She is also survived by her mother, Jan Brian Paulsen, and three brothers: Eugene, Danny, and Brian. She was preceded in death by her father, Harold Eugene Paulsen and being the animal lover she is, we know she is reunited with her dog Macey that gave Karen many years of joy and comfort during hard times. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a family service consisting of grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles will be held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, December 23, 2020. She will be laid to rest in the Provo City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, and because of Karen’s love for animals, the family asks that you make a donation to the Humane Society in Karen’s name.
