YOUNGSTOWN A homegoing celebration in honor of Mrs. Karen Jean Bunn-Taylor will be held Wednesday June 2, 2021 at 11am at New Vision New Day Ministry, 1970 Everett Ave in Youngstown OH. Mrs. Taylor, 68 of Youngstown, Ohio entered into eternal rest on Saturday, May 22, 2021, at St. Elizabeth Hospital surrounded by her loving family. “Mother Karen”, as she was affectionately called, was born February 26, 1953 in Little Rock, Arkansas, the daughter of Alonza and Loretta Carter. Karen attended South High School, in Youngstown, Ohio. She was employed as a cook at Daybreak Youth Crisis Center until her retirement. She had been employed with Southside Hospital, Northside Hospital, Beeghly Hospital and Akron Children’s Hospital in housekeeping. Karen accepted the Lord as her personal savior, and was a born-again believer in Jesus Christ. She loved sharing her faith with everyone she met, and often testified of the life she lived before she accepted Christ and the wonderful difference she experienced in now living for Him. Mother Karen was a member of Generations Life Center, under the pastorate of Pastors Hernan and Jessica Rosario, formerly called Ebenezer Church of God In Christ, under the pastorate of Apostle Ernest L. Walker, III. She served in the local church as an Usher, and on the Mothers’ Board. She loved working in the church and enjoyed helping others. Karen could be found every Christmas season volunteering as a Bell-Ringer for the Salvation Army, and often shared the stories of the people she encountered and how God allowed her to be an encouragement to many. Mother Karen loved studying her Bible and spending time in prayer for her family and loved ones. She was a loving caring person who loved God, and spent her time being a blessing to everyone she encountered. Her greatest love was her children, grandchildren and spending time with family. Truly a Woman of God who will be deeply missed.
