Vera

Karen Sue Clifton, a beloved figure in her community, passed away on June 8, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a place she held dear throughout her life. Born to Charlie and Norma (Davis) Puckett, on July 26, 1959, in Tulsa, she spent her formative years in Sperry, Oklahoma, where she graduated from Sperry High School in 1977. Following her high school education, Karen pursued her passion for beauty by attending cosmetology school.

Known for her warm spirit and dedication to her family, Karen's career as a homemaker was a reflection of her unwavering commitment to those she loved. On June 25, 2007, she married the love of her life, Ricky Clifton, with whom she shared numerous cherished moments.

Karen found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She had a fondness for connecting with others, often relishing in phone conversations and shopping excursions. Her heart, however, truly belonged to her family. She loved spending time with her children, her five grandchildren, and her four great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life.

She is survived by her husband Ricky Clifton; her children, Michelle McCarty and Darrell Evans Jr.; her brother, Norvan Hollandsworth; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; along with a host of other relatives and friends who will miss her dearly.

Karen is preceded in death by her parents, Charlie Puckett and Norma (Davis) Hollandsworth; her brother, Edward "Tom" Puckett; and her sister, Shirley Anderson.

Her legacy of love, kindness, and devotion to her family will remain in the hearts of all who knew her. Karen's gentle spirit and joyful presence will be deeply missed, but her memory will continue to inspire those she touched throughout her life.
