"Larry and family - our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to you and your family in this time of sorrow. We will always remember Karen as a very lovely lady."
Karen Ann Braaten Griffith commenced her life in newness with her Heavenly Father and departed loved ones. She is preceded in death by her parents Rev. Conrad S. Braaten and Pearl. She leaves behind her husband Larry Griffith MD, and her children Brandon and Shauna Griffith (Ethan and Victoria), Amy and Michael Anderson (Brooke and Audrey), and Jonathan Griffith. She also leaves her siblings Rev. Conrad Braaten (Jennifer), David Braaten Ph.D. (Arlene), Pearl Schieck (Joel), Kirsten Wilder (Bruce) and sister-in-law Mary Griffith. She was a dedicated nurse, always caring for others. We fondly recall her joyous dancing, and now she is dancing with our Heavenly Father. "Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow." Jeremiah 31:13. Memorial will be at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 23, 2014 at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, 1212 E. Glendale, Phoenix, AZ 85020.

"Dear Cousins, I was shocked and saddened to learn of Karen\'s passing. I hope you are strengthened in the coming weeks and months knowing she is with God and no longer in pain. Karen and I had many wonderful conversations over the years. She was insightful, gentle, and wise in her thoughts and words. She was less able to converse in the last year, but I know Karen was and remains still, Karen, my loving cousin. Joyce"
