Karen Gail Sellers, age 67, passed away early Wednesday morning, December 13, 2023, in Claremore, Oklahoma. A celebration of her life will be scheduled following the holiday season.
Born as the third of four children and the beloved daughter of Coach Jim and Nita Sellers, Karen embodied a spirit of adventure and an unwavering love for life.

Karen had an insatiable curiosity and was known for being a magnificent writer and storyteller. Her interests spanned a wide spectrum, reflecting a life rich in experiences. She loved traveling around the country, with a special fondness for the landscapes of Colorado and New Mexico.
Throughout her diverse career, Karen worked as a waitress, a talented bartender, and a discerning wine connoisseur. Her culinary passion extended to fine dining, where she found joy in savoring the finer things in life. Additionally, she dedicated her time and skills as an EMT at Hillcrest Medical Center, demonstrating a commitment to helping others in times of need.
