Karen Elaine Beatty Pray, age 81, passed away peacefully on February 25, 2026. Originally from Aberdeen, Washington, Karen’s life was marked by her resilience, her travels and commitment to those she loved.
Karen’s journey took her far from her Pacific Northwest roots. As a devoted military spouse, she supported her husband during his service, including their time stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana.
Following their military chapters, Karen settled in Oklahoma, where she built a life centered around her family and community.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Lyman, who passed away in March 2002.
Karen’s greatest legacy was her devoted faith in God. She will be remembered for her strength of character and quiet dedication she showed her family through every milestone. She leaves behind a family who will miss her guidance and her presence.
Karen is survived by her four sons Lyman Pray and daughter-in-law Misty Pray, Albert Pray and daughter-in-law Emmie Pray, Kevin Pray and Paul Pray.
Karen’s siblings are Billie Beatty Nicpon, Rosemary Thompson, Sharon Beatty, Danny Galyean, Joe Galyean and Dewey Beatty.
