In the early morning hours of February 7, 2026, peacefully and free of pain, Karen Kay Holt Albright left this earth to join her parents Joyce Nelson and Rusty Holt in Heaven. Born on January 9, 1952, Karen spent a life well lived and loved making countless friends, loving her family deeply, and being the life of every party and room she ever walked into. Karen is lovingly survived by her best friend and devoted husband of thirty three years Dennis, sisters Ruth and Sharon, children Melanie Naismith (Kelly), Kathryn Lumpkin (Mark), Steven Albright (Stefanie), Andrew Albright (Stefanie), and Jessica Rivera (Richard), thirteen grandchildren, three great grandchildren, and countless extended family and friends. Though our hearts mourn her passing, we rejoice in the promise of eternal life and find comfort knowing Karen now rests in the arms of her Savior. Her legacy of love, laughter, and fun will live on in all who knew her. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made in Karen�s memory to St. Jude Children�s Research Hospital.
