Karen Wei-An McCallum

Your spirit will forever inspire and comfort us.

Obituary

With deep love and sorrow, we announce the passing of Karen, our beloved mother, wife, sister, and friend, who left this world on May 13, 2026, after a courageous battle with breast cancer. Born on December 12, 1969, Karen lived a life defined by unwavering strength, fierce loyalty, and an honesty that everyone around her could always count on. She spoke her mind with courage and conviction, and those who knew her understood that her honesty always came from a place of love and sincerity.



Karen was a devoted wife to her loving husband and a deeply cherished mother to her two daughters, who were the center of her world. Family meant everything to her. She gave her love freely, protected those she cared for with unmatched determination, and created a foundation of strength that will continue to guide her family for generations to come.



Her friendships were lasting and true. Karen stood beside the people she loved through every season of life, offering steadfast support, loyalty, laughter, and wisdom. Though strong in spirit, she also possessed a deeply caring heart that touched countless lives.



Even throughout her illness, Karen faced life with remarkable courage and resilience, showing the same strength that defined her entire life. While her passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness, her love remains woven into the lives of her family forever.



Karen will continue watching over her husband and daughters with the same fierce devotion she carried throughout her life. Her guidance, strength, and love will live on as her children continue to grow and build their lives.



Karen will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever carried in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

I am very sorry for your loss. From the little time I got to spend with Karen, I felt nothing but positive energy from her. She was truthful, funny, and witty. It is such a shame to lose such a beautiful life so soon, but I am sure Heaven has become a brighter place with her there.You will all forever be in my prayers.

I truly enjoyed meeting Karen and getting to know her better by working out with her at AdventHealth's Wellness Center. She was tenacious, funny, witty and a pure joy to be around. Even when she shared having cancer, she never stopped smiling, never wanted pity, showed strength and endurance and was a constant inspiration to me and those around her. I had no doubt that her tremendous, positive attitude would allow her to beat this. However, in her own way, she did conquer it because she never showed defeat!! 💕
My sincerest prayers for and condolences to her husband, daughters and family 💔

Oh Karen, my sweet friend. Her friendship entered my life later only the past three years, however, we had an instant connection. I will miss her every time I walk into the gym… she used to work out so hard even though she was battling and in pain. She always had such a bright shining disposition about her. She made jokes giggling while she wiped the sweat from her brow.
She will always be my friend. She will always be in my heart.
I love you, Karen McCallum always!!! 
My deepest sympathies to the family and to her loving husband Charles. May her memory always bring you joy to your heart.! 💔

I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. I taught Karen’s daughter Maddie in the 6th grade, and although our interactions were brief, I remember her for her kindness and support, and her ever-present smile. My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to the family.
