Karen Carlene

Moore

Karen Carlene Kephart-Moore, age 57, passed away Tuesday, July 10, 2018 at her home with her family surrounding her. She fought a long hard battle of Colon Cancer.

She was a true inspiration to so many who loved her. She always had a smile on her face despite the pain she was in or the situation. She was a HERO to many, and known as a "fighter" because of her willpower to fight cancer. She will be dearly missed by so many. Everyone she knew will always remember her as the "Sunflower Cowgirl" with a pretty smile.

Karen is preceded in death by her cowboy daddy David H. Kephart and her infant sister Marla Kephart. She is survived by her mother Stella M. Kephart of Ashdown, AR; her son and his husband, Matthew Moore and Billy Nutt III of Marshall, TX; her daughter and her husband Jillian and Matthew Jones of Ashdown, AR; one very special grandchild Zoe Anderson of Ashdown AR; her six grand puppies; her many loving cousins; her many very special friends all over the U.S. and her special hospice nurse, Stevey.

Cremation arrangements are under Herndon-Fuqua Funeral Home of Hope, AR. Her ashes will be spread over the Hill Country in Texas where she loved to spend time. No flowers or donations needed to the family. However, if you would like to make a donation in honor of her please make them to Runnin' WJ Ranch 4802 Kings Hwy. Texarkana, TX 75501. They are a therapeutic children's horse ranch that was devastated by a storm that hit the ranch causing damage to structures, etc. Any monetary or voluntary donations would make her smile down from heaven. Her love of horses and all children make this place even more special. It is her families mission to carry out all of her wishes. Family services will be held at a later date.
