Karen Jean Liston Obituary (1941

Karen Jean Liston danced away to join her late husband, Jim, on March 20, 2018 at age 76. She was born to Andrew and Beatrice Kryger on October 11, 1942 in Vermillion, South Dakota. She married James Liston on April 30, 1060 and they were blessed with two children, James Richard Liston, Jr. and Deborah Kay O'Donnell. Karen loved life in all its forms, never meeting a stranger or a stray. Any person or animal fortunate enough to wander to her porch never lacked for food or affection. Her greatest passion centered on her horses, from her first horse, Queenie, until her last horse, Ringo, she loved to care for them and take long trail rides. During her years working at Mansfield ISD, she did her best to insure no child went without food regardless of the personal cost. Her fiery personality kept friends and families on their toes and her smile could light up a room. She enjoyed her country life, riding horses, gardening and dancing at the Kountry Klub. She is survived by her sister, Mary Kay Finch, her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, her good friend Charlie Weatherford, as well as many more loving friends and family members.
