Karma was born February 12th, 1938, in Des Moines, IA. She was the youngest of nine children born to Harry and Hazel Graham of Milo, IA. Karma was a graduate of Milo High School where she was actively involved in 4-H, Basketball, and her church youth group.
On August 14, 1957, Karma married the love of her life; Gene Thompson. Together they built a family they adored, actively volunteered in their church and community, and neighbors always knew there was warm conversation and a cup of coffee awaiting them whenever they dropped by.
Karma was kind hearted and had a generous & playful spirit with a smile that could light up a room. Her home was always open to all, and was usually filled with family & friends, neighborhood kids, sports teams, and church groups where she generously fed those hungry bellies!
Karma has touched many lives over the years, but especially those of her children and grandchildren. Her same generous heart, zest for life, and gifts of hospitality are reflected in them; those she held most dear!
