Karen Ellen Larpenter was born December 5, 1944 in Houma, Louisiana and fell 
asleep in death peacefully with her family by her side and listening to kingdom 
melodies, Sunday, March 22, 2015. 

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's 
Witnesses at 1830 Prospect Blvd. in Houma, on Thursday, March 26, 2015.

She is survived by her daughter, Gretchen Brock Faul and husband, Raphael Faul, 
daughter, Allyson Brock Keaghey, son, Andrew Todd Brock, Sr., son, Stephen 
Brock, daughter, Rachel Brock, daughter, Rebecca Brock, grandchildren, Curt 
Eschete, Cody Faul, Randall Keaghey, Dustin Faul, Justin Keaghey, Megan Ledet, 
Tyler Ledet, Andrew Brock, Jr., Logan Brock, Laney Griffin, and Taylor Fanguy, 
great-grandchildren, Kayleigh Eschete, Mirrae Faul, Cole Eschete, Ayden

She is preceded in death by her father, Ira Joseph Larpenter, mother, Idola 
Elfert Larpenter, brother Carroll Larpenter and wife Olga Larpenter, sister, 
Joan Sines and husband Ted Sines, niece Carol Ann Larpenter Pontiff, and nephew 
Michael Sines.

She worked as a bus driver for the Terrebonne Parish School Board for more than 
thirty years. She dedicated her life through water baptism as one of Jehovah's 
Witnesses on May 23, 1975 and served her God, Jehovah, faithfully up 'til her 
death. She loved speaking to everyone she met about Jehovah God and teaching 
them the promises in the Bible of the resurrection and a paradise earth, where 
one day death will be done away. (Revelation 21:3-4)

She loved being around children, especially babies, loved traveling, scrabble, 
crosswords, books, jeopardy, and being around people. She was a giving person 
and will be missed as a loving mother, grandmother, and aunt until she will be 
reunited with her family in the resurrection. (John 5: 28,29 & 11:23-25)

The family would like to thank the nurses at TGMC for the great care given to 
our mother, Ms. Grace Nells from the Medical Team whom our mother loved and 
adopted as one of her family, and Dr. Abouisa for the love and respect given to 
her regarding her medical treatment and care. 

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Christen Congregation of 
Jehovah's Witnesses.
