Karen Lynn Towse

February 27, 1942 - August 16, 2021

Karen Lynn Towse passed peacefully in her sleep on August 15, 2021, at age 79. Beloved by all who knew her, she leaves her only son, love of her life and devoted to her, Chad Wayne Brockhoff, a daughter-in – law she adored, Jennifer Brockhoff, 3 grandchildren: Courney, Anthony, Lauren, 2 sisters: Judy Towse Roberts, Mary (Sunny) Towse, nieces and nephews who called her Aunt Nyn, cousins, a wealth of friends, many of whom she kept close most of her life, and her beloved Morkie, Eddy Wayne. Lynn was gracious, kind, sentimental and had a beautiful spirit. She was a strong and hardworking woman, who made anywhere she was a home from her first little apartment at 18, to her to her home in the Northland filled with her treasures. Her careers as a medical receptionist and a sales associate, for both The Jones Store, and Macys kept many clients and customers asking for her personally and she won awards for her personal attention and service. She was a longtime volunteer at the Nelson Art Gallery and always generous with her time and talents. Lynn was preceded in death by her parents, Edwin Lawson Towse, Mary Louise Sweezy Towse, a nephew, Thomas Edwin Thies, her brothers- in-law, Brad Stephens and Bob Thies. Lynn graduated from Northeast High School and met with her high school friends every month for lunch. She was Aunt and Grandma to many of her friend’s children and as oldest sister, was the Matriarch of a large family. Until the last one of us joins her, we will say her name, tell her stories, and she will be with us, remembered in love. There will be a Celebration of life from 2-5:00pm September 18, 2021 at the Lake of the Forest Clubhouse, Off K-32 in Bonner Springs, KS. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to KC Pet Project, 7077 Elmwood Ave., KCMO 64132
