Karen Downs

January 15, 1954 - March 16, 2022

Karen (nee: Christine) Downs, age 68 of Hambden Twp. passed away March 16, 2022, at UH Geauga Medical Center. Born January 15, 1954 in Tyrone, PA to James and Ida Mae “Pat” (nee: Weaver) Christine, she had been a lifelong area resident. Karen worked as a dispatcher and driver for Geauga Transit, Weidig’s Floral and as a caregiver. She was an avid Chardon High School sports fan, especially Hilltopper Football. She enjoyed cooking and sharing in what was cooked; she loved the holidays, especially Christmas. Karen’s greatest joy was her family, talking with her siblings over the phone and texting, raising her son Gabe and watching her grandson Jordan play sports and grow into the young man he has become. Survivors include her husband of 43 years Lew Downs of Hambden Twp; son Gabe Barrett of Chardon; grandson Jordan (Carley) Barrett of St. George, UT; siblings Dennis (Bev) Christine of Arvada, CO, Larry (Dorothy) Christine of Westminster, CO, Darlene Nemcheck of Black Canyon, AZ and Doug (Kathy) Christine of New Castle, CO. She was preceded in death by her parents. A memorial gathering will be from 4-7 pm on Wednesday, March 23, 2022 at the Potti & Marc F. Burr Funeral Homes, 126 South Street, Chardon (within DeJohn Funeral Home). Donations suggested to the Geauga County Park District 9160 Robinson Road, Chardon, OH 44024.
