Karen Renee DuBose-Lee was born August 23, 1957 to the late David and Charlotte DuBose in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She confessed her love for Christ and was baptized around the age of five at Union Baptist Church where she was a member for many years until she moved away to Georgia. She attended Wayne High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Karen was called home to be with the Lord on August 1, 2019 at her home in Covington, Georgia surrounded by family and friends.
