Karen Ellerthorpe Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate Karen Ellerthorpe in Jackson, Michigan, born in Wyandotte, Michigan, whose life came to an end on May 14, 2025 at the age of 70, leaving behind cherished memories. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Karen Ellerthorpe to show support.

As we bid Karen farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Karen is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

She was predeceased by: her parents, LeRoy Hines and Josephine Hines. She is survived by: her husband Kevin Ellerthorpe; her brother Dennis Hines (Lisa); and her siblings-in-law, Brian Ellerthorpe (Emmie) and Lisa Abbey (Jim). She is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to South Jackson Community Church.
