Karen Leah Buffington Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Karen Leah Buffington of Mexico, Missouri, who passed away on January 8, 2026 at the age of 69. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Karen Leah Buffington to pay them a last tribute.
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 loved and cherished by many people including: her parent Elgin "Jake" Lee; her daughter Jennifer Frisbie (Jonathon) of Jefferson City; her grandchildren, Lillian Keeney (Michael) of Jefferson City, Wyatt and Willow; her sister Debbie Farrah (Everett) of Mexico; her nephew Keith Allison (Mechelle) of Charlotte, NC.; and her mother Lorraine Jacobs (Cornelison).
The family requests memorial donations be made to Compassion International or World Vision.
