Mrs. KAREN RUTH ADELSON COHEN

KELLER -- Karen Ruth Adelson Cohen passed away Monday afternoon, Nov. 28, 2016, after a short and severe illness. She fought it all the way, but in the end, the damage was too severe. To say we will miss her is an understatement. Mrs. Cohen was 52. Service: 11 a.m. Thursday in the chapel at Robertson Mueller Harper with Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker of Congregation Beth Israel, Colleyville, officiating. Following committal prayers, she will be laid to rest in the Beth-El Section of Greenwood Memorial Park. Born Aug. 31, 1964, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Karen was the daughter of Morton David and Sarah Cohen Adelson. The family moved to the Wedgewood area of Fort Worth in 1969 and a few years later to Dallas. Karen graduated of Hillcrest High School in 1982 and Carnegie Mellon University in 1986. She worked in all areas of information systems, including document design, database design, and AI. She published two books and contributed to others. Karen loved decorating the house, thoughtful movies, and listening to podcasts. She enjoyed binge-watching HGTV shows and picking apart their designs. But, most of all, Karen was proud of the people her children have become. She was preceded in death by her father. Survivors: In addition to her husband, Jeffrey Robert Cohen, Karen is survived by her son and daughter, Max and Kelsey Cohen; her mother, Sarah Adelson; sister, Hilda Adelson; brother, Ed Adelson and his partner, Barbara Leary; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
