Karen Delano Absher Cary of La Barge, died Sept. 17, 2025, in Pinedale.

She was born in Sparta, North Carolina, April 5, 1954, to Don and Carol Hall. She was the oldest of three and fearless when tackling challenges life threw her way, including surviving cancer.

Raised in Virginia and Texas, Karen found her true home in Wyoming where she met and married Christopher Cary. They shared 40-years of love, laughter, and adventure. Karen was content to sit on the deck and watch wildlife, or work in her garden and greenhouse, or help Chris build a cabin off-the-grid, hunt in the mountains, boat, or discover new places in their RV. Hosting a formal party or a gathering around a campfire, she opened her heart and home.

Her smile and wit turned strangers into friends, friends into extended family
