Mrs. Bozeman was born August 4, 1954 to Glenn and Laverne Jordan. She passed away at her home, Sunday, January 19, 2025. She is preceded in death by her mother, LaVerne Jordan; her brother, Samuel Jordan; and her daughter, Sabrina Bozeman.
Karen is survived by her husband of 47 years, Sammy Bozeman; her son, Reggie Bozeman and his wife Mary; her father and stepmother, Glenn and Mary Jordan; her brothers, Gary Jordan and his wife Rhonda, Phillip Jordan and his wife Annette, and Mark Jordan; her sister, Rhonda and her husband Anthony Page; two grandchildren, Lucas and Olivia Bozeman; along with numerous nieces, nephews and a host of other family and friends.
At an early age, Karen loved music. She began to help lead worship in her father’s church when there was no one else to play. Soon she was able to play anything with keys: piano, organ, and even the accordion. Little did she know that this was the Lord’s doing, as she would marry an evangelist by the name of Sammy Bozeman. They traveled the country together ministering in 33 states and even ministered in 3 countries as well. Life finally slowed down as they became Pastors, but she still loved to travel and she always enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Her favorite time of the year was always the holidays, but Christmas held a special place in her heart, where she would decorate the entire house inside and out, and do not forget all of the Christmas trees that would be up. Her whole life, she loved the work of the Lord and epitomized the scripture, “Whatsoever your hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might;…”. She was the quintessential minister’s wife helping in any way that was needed to fulfill the work of God. She will be missed by all who knew her and loved her.
