Karen was never afraid of work, in fact, moving to Watertown about 30 years ago where she worked at the Rylance Law Office and then for many years, worked at McFleeg Seeds. Hobbies was really not a priority of her, work was, but she did like to dance.  In recent years she loved to watch movies on the Hallmark Channel and drink her warm Coke! She also liked to do word search, work crossword puzzles, garden, enjoyed her plants and some quilting.

Preceding her in death were her parents, Robert Miller and Frances Miller Hunt, daughters, Shelly Lynn Fox and Becky (Kenny) Scotter, a brother, Robert "Bob" Miller and her step-father, Kenneth Hunt.

She is survived by a son, Martin Walter Fox of DeSmet and grandchildren, Cigi Fox, Justin Lake, Chelsey and Nathan Scotter and 5-great-grandchildren. She also leaves siblings, Shirley Hunt Drew of Gettysburg and Jim (Glory) Hunt of Deadwood and a sister-in-law, Alice Miller of Sioux Falls and many nieces and nephews.
