May 28, 1941 ~ April 10, 2017
Our loving mother, Karen Seely Galloway, 75, of Spanish Fork, passed away on April 10, 2017. She was born on May 28, 1941, in Brigham City, Utah, to parents F. Leland and Grace Emily Thompson Seely.
In 1961, Karen was Brigham City's Peach Queen. She was also Miss Utah National Guard and held many other pageant titles. Karen married Daryl Galloway on September 21, 1962, and they later divorced.
Karen graduated from Box Elder High School. She received her B.S. in Education from Weber State and her masters degree from the University of Phoenix. She taught keyboarding and business to high school students for over 40 years; 25 of which were in Niwot, Colorado. She served an LDS mission teaching students at the LDS Business College in Salt Lake City.
Karen loved to travel and visited Australia, China, Europe, the Caribbean and Panama Canal just to name a few. She was a cat-lady and loved her fur babies, Dusty and CC, dearly. She was the life of the party and really enjoyed going out to lunch, shopping, dancing and a good diet coke.
Karen is survived by her two daughters: Brandi (Barry) Johnson of Spanish Fork and Wendy (Spencer) Hughes, of West Bountiful; five grandchildren: Steven Johnson, Megan (Kalin) Olson, Devin Johnson, all of Spanish Fork; Katie Hughes and Hailey Hughes, both of West Bountiful. She is also survived by her siblings: Glen (Nita) Seely, Gwen (Ken) Goates, Jim (Ellie) Seely, and Kent (Mary) Seely.
She is preceded in death by her parents; sister, Joyce Richman and brother, Lee Seely.
