Karen Branham

Karen Ann Branham, born on December 4, 1961, in Baltimore, Maryland, passed away peacefully on December 2, 2025, just two days shy of her 64th birthday. A lifelong resident of Baltimore, Karen touched many lives with her warm spirit and adventurous heart.

Karen was a cherished partner to Doris for 26 loving years, a compassionate sister to her brother, James Branham Jr. of Burlington, WV, and her sister, Teresa. She was also a beloved aunt to her nephew, Mathew, and a devoted best friend to her late mother. Karen is preceded in death by her parents, Salvatora Teresa Branham and James C. Branham Sr.

The Funeral Service will take place later that evening at 8:00 pm, providing family and friends the opportunity to celebrate and remember her remarkable life.

Karen’s memory will be embraced with love and tears, but most importantly, with the laughter and joy she brought to everyone around her.

Karen Ann Branham’s spirit will remain in the hearts of all who knew her, as she now rests in peace, embraced by the mountains she loved so dearly.
