Karen Jean Fryer

Karen Jean Fryer, born January 31, 1955, in Jacksonville, Illinois, passed away on October 29, 2026, surrounded by friends and watched over by her loving husband, Craig. Karen met Craig at LDS business college, where their friendship blossomed into a lifelong love. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple and remained devoted to each other throughout their lives.

A lifelong, faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Karen found immense joy in serving others, particularly in the Young Women's program and on the early morning shift at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. She also cherished her many years working at Farmers Insurance alongside colleagues who meant so much to her. Karen was a devoted BYU football fan who never missed a game and her love for Christmas as legendary with multiple trees and year round decorations. Karen will be sorely missed but her absence will only be temporary and we look forward to the day when we will meet again.

Karen is survived by her devoted husband, Craig; her mother, Beverly Brummett; her sister, Karol Barnum; her brother, Keith Brummett; and many aunts, uncles, and friends who will miss her dearly. She was preceded in death by her father, John Brummett, and her grandparents, Homer and Bernadette Stoddart.
