Karen Fae Parker

August 7, 1958 — January 10, 2025

Pocatello

Karen Parker, 66, of Pocatello, Idaho, passed away peacefully. She was born in Omaha, Nebraska, to Jack and Lona Glasebrook. Karen developed a love for motorcycles at a young age, inspired by watching her father race in motocross. As a single mother at 17, Karen raised her daughter, Danielle, with strength and dedication, putting many of her own dreams on hold. In her 40s, Karen was finally able to pursue her passion for motorcycles by purchasing her own and attending the Sturgis rally multiple times.

In 2011, Karen met the love of her life, Paul Parker, and they were married on November 21, 2015. Together, they enjoyed many Nascar races and shared countless memorable moments. Paul passed away in 2020, leaving a deep void in her life. In 2021, Karen moved to Pocatello to be closer to her daughter, Danielle, and was fortunate enough to find a home across the street from her family. She spent her time playing games on her tablet, watching true crime shows, and imparting her wisdom to those around her.

Karen is survived by her mother, Lona Glasebrook; brother, Dave Glasebrook; sister, Lina Schwisow; daughter and son-in-law, Danielle and Tom Livingston; and granddaughters Amber Baird and Ayla Livingston. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a charity of your choice in her memory.

A memorial service will be held at 3:00 pm on Thursday, January 23, 2025 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 3444 Hawthorne Road, Pocatello, ID.
