AVON
Karen R. Robbins, 64, of Avon moved on to a new garden on August 29, 2023. Karen was born on August 5,1959 to Robert and Shirley (Money) Hayes.
Karen was the creative genius behind Avon Gardens. She took what was her grandparent’s farm and turned it into spectacular gardens where many came to understand her motto of Seek the Unique! She loved finding unique flowers, plants, shrubs and trees to create “lovely” gardens. There have been almost 2,000 couples that have had the pleasure of exchanging their vows in the gardens.
Anyone that knew Karen would agree one of her favorite things to do was to help anyone looking for help with their own gardens, whether it be a few flowers or a whole yard. She appreciated everyone and everything in the gardens, including the furry ones, the garden cats, deer, raccoons and of course the birds! All of us have truly lost someone that made the world a better place, but you can always come walk with her in the gardens.
We will be having a Celebration of Her Life at Avon Gardens on October 15th starting at 4:00 PM, everyone is welcome.
Karen is survived by her brother Kevin Hayes; sister Kathy (Hayes) Lewis; nephews Robert and Ryan Hayes and great nephews Grayson, Renlen and Raelen. She was preceded in death by her parents.
Arrangements entrusted to Conkle Funeral Home, Avon Chapel.
