Karen Lynn Coburn

Karen Lynn Coburn passed away on October 17, 2026, at the age of 68. Born on April 1, 1958, Karen will be remembered with deep love by those who knew her and by the family who held such an important place in her life.

At the center of Karen’s life was her family. She is survived by her husband, Jack Coburn, with whom she shared life’s journey. She also leaves behind her daughters, Jessica Gary and Melissa Burris, and her sons-in-law, Lloyd Gary and Mike Burris. Her love continued through the next generation in her grandchildren, Anthony, Hope, Lloyd III “LT,” Willow, and Liam, each of whom brought joy to her family circle.

Karen is also survived by her brothers, Mike DeGraaf and his wife, Falisha, and her twin brother, Jim, and his wife, Debbie. She is further survived by her sister-in-law, Robin, and by the extended family and loved ones who will continue to carry her memory forward.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jan and Shirley DeGraaf, her granddaughter, Savannah, and by her brothers, Richard and Gary. Their memory remained part of the story of her life, and now Karen rests among those who went before her.

Karen’s passing leaves a space that will be deeply felt by her family. May her memory bring comfort to those who loved her, and may the love she shared remain a lasting presence in their hearts.

Visitation will take place on Sunday, October 25, 2026 from 11 am until 8:00 pm at The Trenton Chapel of The Martenson Family of Funeral Homes. 

Memorial contributions may be made in memory of Karen to Michigan Humane Society
