Karen Connor Burton Dufour's Obituary
Our dear mother, Karen Dufour, sadly passed away at the age of 86, on July 20, 2023. She was surrounded by her family at the time of her death. She was a wonderful mother who was always there when we needed her. She was also an incredible role model to the family. She worked as a Med Tech at LSU Medical School for 30 years, and she received the Charles E. Dunbar Award, which is the highest honor a classified state employee can receive. Affectionately known to her grandchildren as “BJ”, even friends and other family members came to refer to her that way. She is survived by her 3 children, 4 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren. She will be missed by all.
Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Celebration of Life on Saturday, August 12, 2023 at 11:00 am at E J Fielding Funeral Home, 2260 West 21st Avenue, Covington, LA, and the visitation will begin at 9:00am until service time.
E.J. Fielding Funeral Home has been entrusted with funeral arrangements. Please sign the guestbook at www.ejfieldingfh.com.
