Karen Lynn Worstell, 64 passed away peacefully at home on November 2, 2023. She

was born to Freda Tobias and the late Jennings Davis on December 30, 1958 in West Virginia,

then moved to Youngstown as a young child. She was a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High

School Class of 1976. She then furthered her education in cosmetology.

She enjoyed bartending for over 30 years, making many friends along the way. She was

a loving mother, grandmother, and friend. She loved spending time with her grandchildren,

friends, and family especially on the holidays. We will miss seeing her in earrings and jewelry

that she loved to wear. Her favorite foods to cook were chili and a chicken with rice dish.

She baked Christmas cookies for so many every year. She saved so many things from

birthday cards to gifts made by her grandchildren. She enjoyed reading, doing puzzles, and

spending time by the campfire. Every time we see a peppermint we will think of her.

She loved her plants especially her Christmas cactus that she had for 10 years as well

as her knick knacks she collected over the years. She had a smile that brightened up every room.

She is loved by everyone who knew her.
