Karen Jean (Blake) Densmore, age 76, of Perry, passed away Thursday, May 14, 2020, at home, surrounded by loved ones. She was born February 3, 1944 in Royal Oak, MI , the daughter of John L. and Elizabeth M. (Perkins) Beach. She married Donald J. “Don” Densmore on September 12, 2004.
Karen was a retired secretary, having worked for Leaderdogs for the Blind.

She was a lover of Jesus- active with her church family of Perry First Baptist.

(Wendy) Densmore; sisters, Carol Compton, Kathy (Kenneth) Lukowski; 7 grandchildren; 11 step-grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; and 5 step-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Thomas Beach; and first husband, William C. Blake.
Contributions can be made in memory of Karen Densmore to Perry First Baptist Church, 3918 Main Street, Perry, OH 44081.

Karen was one of the most generous, kind and loving women I’ve ever known. She was always genuinely interested in whatever you had to say and her sweet spirit was comforting as she spoke truth and life to many! She will be sorely missed. Praying for you all. Love, Patty Myers

Don I am so sorry for you loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting Karen, but I am sure she was a great lady. Not sure if you or your daughter Jane remember me. We met thru First Baptist Church of Madison. I lift you all up in my prayers. May God give you all the strength to get thru this difficult time. Your friend in Christ, Larry Jones
