Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Karen Jean McLean was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Peacefully and surrounded by her family, Karen passed away on July 11, 2022 at the age of 67 years.
She was born to Donald Jack and Jessie Marie Hayes on February 23, 1955 in Columbus, Ohio. After graduating from Lake Worth High School, Karen met her husband, Thomas McLean. Together, they had 3 children: Brandon, Ryan, and Kara.
While raising her family and supporting her husband in his career as a builder/contractor, she also helped manage and upkeep their rental properties. She also held a variety of jobs to contribute financially. She worked at a local deli, drove a school bus, and also worked at an elementary school as an attendance clerk in Palm Beach County.
When her husband Tom suddenly passed in 2005, Karen courageously continued in her roles as grandmother and mother. She enjoyed baking cookies and special treats for her grandchildren and spending time with her children and her beloved dog Tucker.
Karen is survived by her children: Brandon (April) McLean, Ryan (Danielle) McLean, and Kara (Frankie) Rosario; grandchildren: Lukas, Juliette, Jackson, Lincoln, Levi, Lily, and Landon; sisters Deborah Fuller and Traci (Dennis) Storey; sisters-in-law Terri, Linda, Patti (Bob), brothers-in-law Doug and Terry; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Karen was preceded in death by her parents, inlaws, husband Tom, sister Donna, brother David, and brothers-in-law Keith, Stan, and Joe. In remembrance of Karen, the family asks that any charitable donations be made to (Humane Society).
