Karen H. Bunnell

Karen Haas Bunnell, age 63, passed away on Friday, January 20, 2023 at her home, after a short bout with cancer.

Her big smile and even bigger personality lit up everywhere she went. Starting at her hometown of Winston Salem, NC, to college at ECU, then up north to the Wilmington/Glen Mills area. She touched so many during her life and travels, she will be missed.

Karen is survived by her son Philip Kara-Eneff, Brayden Kara-Eneff, Stephanie and Jeff Ballard, Hannah and Richard Ballard. A very special thank you to Don Bunnell for caring for her during the last 6 months.

    Kathi McCarron lit a candle and writes,
    Karen was a close and dear friend when our family lived in her neighborhood. We took our sons to Disney World in Florida together. We consoled each other and made each other laugh. We could say anything to each other, she was that kind of friend. She will be missed by my children and me. Our hearts go out to Phillip and Brayden. Please accept our condolences until we meet again. Some how that woman will be rescuing dogs in heaven, I just know it. 🙏 Love and hugs, Kathi, Mandi and her family, Jenni, and CJ.

    Oh my gosh, it’s so hard to have just seen this. I grew up across the street from Karen in Mountain Brook. I loved her so much as my great friend. Please accept my condolences and prayers. I’m so embarrassed not knowing of Karen’s passing. Peace be with you. Rick
