Karen Carmen Ellerbee
Karen Carmen Ellerbee, 50, a resident of Cape Coral, FL since 1997, formerly of Orlando, FL, passed away Monday, September 5, 2022. She was born July 19, 1972 in Orlando, FL.
Karen was of the Christian faith. She was a beautiful, smart, determined, hardworking woman. Our mother wasn’t A Karen, she was THE Karen. A queen bee. She worked hard to build her own successful company, which she said was her legacy. Karen was well loved throughout the community. She was the best Mimi to all her grand-babies. Her infectious smile lives on through all of us.
She is survived by her birth mother, Sharon Alford of Orlando, birth father, Ron Ellerbee of Orlando; three loving children, Calie Willard (James) of Cape Coral, Breena Vazquez of Cape Coral, and Summer Vazquez, also of Cape Coral; as well as six grandchildren, Savannah Willard, Kaiden Willard, Bentlee Bircher, Yusuf Nasar, Ka’Myah Williams, and Sa’Niyah Williams.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Details to be announced via www.MullinsMemorial.com

My condolences to go out to the family.
My best friend, I will always miss you. You and I were always drawn back together. Through high school, through college, through raising kids, through husbands, through everything. I will never be able to replace you. I love you so much.
Karen was dedicated to family., loved and adored her grandchildren. Her unconditional love made all happy to know her.
I’m her granddaughter, and Mimi was the person closest to me. My favorite memory with her was when she used to secretly pick me up early from school just so I could get my nails done. (My mom knew) I miss her. Mimi if you see this just know me and the girls love and miss you so much and the day we lost you was the day my heart shattered. I’ve never cried harder in my life. I love you Mimi and rest easy. I know how much you loved bees and dolphins and nature. And purple. You loved purple. I see purple sunsets and think of you. We miss you and please understand that we weren’t mad that you passed just in denial. You passed away September 5, 2022 and today is March 13, 2023 and I am still in denial it’s just so hard to believe this. I love you and I’ll see you again in heaven. Have fun up there with Lilu and Prince Charming. (her pets that passed)
