My sincere condolences to the Watson and Canty families on the loss of Karen. I had the pleasure of working with for a year at Howard Middle. I say to the family, I am praying for your strength and healing at the your sorrowful hour.

To the Watson Family. I am very sorry for the loss of your mother. I was able to work with her for a year. But the year was an enjoyable one. I pray that God will give the family strength on tomorrow and in the days to come. Mrs. Vernia Staley, Howard Middle School.

To the Watson and Canty Family,

Words can't express how saddened we are to hear of the loss of our beloved friend and neighbor who grew up in the Smith and Gerald Alley community of Mullins, SC. We are family. Kay was our community little sister. We loved her dearly. Myra and John we weep. Someone so special can never be forgotten. The angels are rejoicing as a good soul has made its way home. "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in Spirit." Psalm 34:18

I was in shock after learning of the passing of my classmate Thursday. My sincerest condolences and prayers to her husband, daughters, her sister, Myra and all her relatives and friends. May God give you strength to endure such a loss. Gerrole Floyd

To Jade and Jas thanks for sharing your mom to me and my granddaughter. I am still in shock, but I know God makes know mistakes! I am going to miss our eating out, our trips to Columbia to shop and most of all the advice she would give me! Kay Kay was a true friend to me. The day she rode on the float in the parade, Kay Kay was the queen on the float! We laughed all night about how beautiful she was riding on that float! Kay Kay I loved you, but God loved you more! Rest on my sister!!!😭😭😭😭

sorry for the watson family loss.was friend's with canty an kay for over 40 years

Words can not express the loss I felt when I heard of the passing of my Soror/(Line Sister) Karen‼️ She was so special and dear to me‼️😢 Sleep on my Sister and take your rest🙏🌹

Love you to the End & Beyond♥️🔺♥️ Ellen

To my Jasmine, Jade, Johnnie, Myra, Family, and Friends of my Auntie Kay:

It is with a heavy heart that I express my sincere condolences to all who are enduring the heartbreaking loss of my dear Auntie Kay. She was a very beautiful and special person who loved life, family, fashion, and enjoyed a good time. Auntie Kay showed me love through her firm advice, straight talk, and humorous personality. Many of my fondest memories of Auntie Kay are filled with her making us laugh and flashing that infectious smile she had that could light up any room!

As I reflect on the precious memories and time I was able to spend with her, I look forward to a better time in the new world where Auntie Kay can be with us again. Our heavenly father made a promise that we will have a new earth free from death, sickness, and mourning (Revelations 21: 3, 4). He also promises at John 5:28, 29 that there will be a resurrection of all those in the memorial tombs and they will be given an opportunity at everlasting life in the new world to come. I hold this hope very dear to my heart and look to Jehovah God for strength and comfort to help all of us cope during this difficult time; 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.

With all my LOVE, Cierra Kaye Jackson

My heartfelt sympathy and sincere condolences goes out to the family and friends of Karen Canty Watson. I'm in a state of shock concerning the passing of Kay. I've known Kay since 1st grade at Palmetto Elementary School until high school. She has always been a kind, quiet, and caring person since I've known her. I came home from church on last night, 11/11/2021, to a text from another classmate letting me know of her passing. I was truly saddened to read that text. My prayer is that GOD will give all of her loved ones comfort, peace, and strength during this time of grief. Henry Lee Davis

To my family and cousins I am so sorry about the loss of Kay she was a light to her family and to all who knew her she will sadly be missed

Love Cousin,Mollie

To the Canty-Watson Family, I extend my deepest sympathies to your family. May God give you peace and comfort in this difficult time. Karen was my Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., line sister (SC State University - Alpha XI / Fall 1983) and she was a wonderful person and enjoyed life. I will definitely miss her dearly. Rest in divine peace... my sweet, kind and caring SISTER.

Soror Dr. Robin R. Davis

Condolesces to the family and friends of Kay. She and I grew up in Mullins in the same community and we were known as the alley cats. Kay will be sadly missed but never forgotten..RIP Kay....Bettie Joe

I'm at a loss for words...Kay and I grew up together in Mullins S.C. From the tender age of 1st grade to high school graduation. We worked for a period together on Myrtle Beach after graduating. We reconnected in 2011 and picked up where we left off like nothing. Kay was heavy on my mind on the 11th...I was going to call her later that day. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. The family have my deepest sympathy and my family and I are sending prayers and condolences. The Class of '80 has lost a shining star, a stellar and wise woman. Rest easy my dear friend. I love you and will miss our conversations.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Ms. Jarius Edwards-Jackson (Jay)

To the family of my line sister Karen (Kay), we lift you up in prayer as you go through this season in your life. Know that Kay was very dear to our line. As we reminisce on all of our gatherings in Orangeburg, she was one that we could depend on for representing Delta Sigma Theta - Alpha Xi Fall 1983. She was and will remain a jewel in our hearts. Just know that as it is written in Psalms 34:18 "The Lord is close to the broken hearted" Trust HIM! Most sincere condolences and prayer to the entire family. Rest in Peace Line Sister! Pamela Goodwine-Glover South Carolina State University Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Alpha Xi Fall 1983

Words can not express how I am feeling. We grew up in Mullins, SC together, school and band. Then we pledged in the same sorority same line. Always in my heart for all of her kind deeds I will always Love You, Kay!
