Karen Irwin, 41

Karen Irwin, 41, died Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025.
Born Feb. 2, 1983, in Mt. Sterling, she was a shining light in the lives of all who knew her. She dedicated her life to her family and was cherished for her generous spirit and vibrant laughter that could warm any room.  She held an associate degree, and worked diligently in retail, where her friendly nature and genuine care for others shone through.  Her passions included singing, shopping, and reveling in the joy of amusement parks.  She cherished car rides with her brother, Robert, filled with music and laughter, and found immense comfort in the company of her beloved dog.  Above all, it was the time spent with her daughter, Kayla, that held her heart—cuddling and enjoying movie nights together created memories they would both treasure forever.
Survivors include her loving daughter, Kayla Irwin; parents, Lema and Danny Chandler; brother, Robert Craycraft; and two cherished nieces, Danielle Roberts (Travis) and Brittany Wagoner.  Each of them will carry forward her legacy of kindness and love.
She was preceded in death by her sisters, Janet Craycraft and Lisa Patrick.
Service will be conducted at 12 noon, Friday, Jan. 17, at the Spring Street Baptist Church with Pastor Larry Robinson officiating.  Visitation will be 10 a.m.-12 noon, Friday.  Following the service, she will be cremated, in accordance with her wishes.
As we remember Karen, we celebrate the light she brought into our lives, her unwavering generosity, and the countless ways she made the world a better place.  Her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved her.
