Karen Call GREELEY, CO – Karen Call, a 64-year-old resident of Greeley, Colorado, formerly of Burley, passed away very peacefully, surrounded by family, on July 2, 2024, in Twin Falls.

Karen was born April 1, 1960, at the Cottage Hospital in Burley to Melvin and Enetta Call. She was the fourth of six children raised on the family farm where she learned the value of hard work by hoeing beets, changing water and helping to can in the fall.

She graduated from Burley High School, the class of 1978, where she enjoyed being on the drill team and making good friends. She went on to study cosmetology.

In 1981, she welcomed her only child, Melanie Enetta. Karen was a hard-working mom and enjoyed spending all her free time making memories with Melanie, which included many trips back to the farm in Burley; Karen loved coming home.

After living in Boise, McCall and Midway, Utah, she moved to Colorado after Melanie welcomed her first child, Levi, in 2009. Melanie had her second child, Brayton, in 2012. Karen was a fun, loving and very attentive Gram to Levi and Brayton. She spent all of her free time with Melanie, Gabe, Levi and Brayton – her family was everything to her. She enjoyed watching her grandkids compete in sports and was very involved in their lives.

Karen is survived by her father, Melvin R. Call of Burley; her only child, Melanie (Gabriel) Apple of Milliken, Colorado; grandson, Levi and granddaughter, Brayton; siblings, Leland (Judy) Call of Francis, Utah, LaRene (Steven) Woolstenhulme of St. George, Utah and Susan Tyacke of Federal Way, Washington; nieces, Kindra, Kara, Jordan, Janae and Alyssa; nephews, Chad, Coy, Ryan, Eli, Stayton and Dallas; numerous great-nephews and great-nieces; and many wonderful friends.

Karen was preceded in death by her paternal and maternal grandparents; her mother, Enetta Call; a sister, Lenee Call; a brother, Todd Call; and nephew, Shane Call.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 6, at the Call residence “The Farm” located at 268 W. 400 S., of Burley.
