In Memory of Karen Eileen Doud Blalock: Help Support Her Final Journey

Dear friends, family, and community members,

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Karen Eileen Doud Blalock, who left us peacefully in her sleep on September 28, 2024, at the age of 72. Karen was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose impact on our lives and community cannot be overstated.

Who Was Karen?

Karen was a lifelong musician and educator who touched countless lives through her passion for music. She dedicated her life to teaching violin, viola, piano, and guitar, inspiring generations of students to develop a love for music. Her contributions extended beyond teaching; she served as an adjudicator throughout Utah and was a valued member of the Orchestra at Temple Square.

As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Karen's faith was the cornerstone of her life. She found great joy in serving others, her family, and her country. Her love for life was evident in her many hobbies, including sewing, cooking, gardening, and water skiing.

Above all, Karen was devoted to her family. She leaves behind her loving husband, Morris, seven children, and 24 grandchildren who will miss her dearly.
