Karen Jean (Brennan) Minor
Karen Jean (Brennan) Minor 63 went home to glory to be with her Lord on January 9, 2021 after a valiant battle with cancer. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in The Lord Jesus Christ supported her in her struggle and ultimately gave her peace.
Karen was born, in Green Bay, WI, to the late Dean and Virginia Brennan, owner of Dean Brennan Transport and a bookkeeper respectively, on November 30, 1957. She graduated from Roncalli High School, Manitowoc, WI in 1976. She graduated from the certified laboratory assistant course at Lakeland Medical-Dental Academy, Minneapolis, MN. Following high school, she worked as a manager at McDonalds, was a Mary Kay Consultant and ran a home day care before dedicating much of her life to fostering and raising children, including focusing on organic farming and nutrition for the health of her family.
Karen was blessed with a large and loving family. She was an amazing mom to her two children with David Stankey before marrying Bobbie Minor in 1997. Together, Bobbie and Karen adopted seven more children. Karen raised her nine children with faith, patience, discipline and humility.
Karen was a helper at heart. She spent many years volunteering at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission teaching Bible studies and introducing women who were hurting to Jesus Christ. Karen's love for the Lord was contagious. She always had time to answer a question or solve a problem, no matter how small or large. She is dearly missed by her loved ones. Karen and her family were members of Calvary Cross Church in Fond Du Lac.
Karen is survived by her husband, Bobbie Minor; her children: Jacob (Sarah) Brennan, Mequon, Brittany (Jacob) Stankey-Schnoor, Guam, Brandon Minor, Milwaukee, Ruth Minor, North Carolina, Issac Minor, Arizona and minor children Jeremiah Minor, Micah Minor, Salah Minor, Phebe Minor; her grandchildren: Gavin White, Maya White; her siblings Cinderella (Wayne) Van De Hey, Linda Hardtke, Rose (Steve) Vohwinkel, Connie Sieracki, Gary "Buck" (Jackie) Brennan, Mark "Goob" (Kim) Brennan, Tina (Mike) Kratz, Manitowoc, Kathie (Bill) O'Leary, Reedsville, Ann (Jerry) Bieberitz, Brian (Jackie) Brennan Valders, Amy (Kurt) Scharrer, Brillion; and brother-in-law Jerry Kelley, Edina, MN., along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members and friends that were like family.
She was preceded in death by her parents Dean & Virginia Brennan, Manitowoc; a brother: Todd Brennan; a sister: Sandy Kelley; a brother-in-law: Andy Hardtke, and nephews: Alex Brennan and Matt Scharrer.

The family gratefully welcomes prayers, condolences or donations to Milwaukee Rescue Mission (830 N 19th St Milwaukee, WI 53233) in Karen's honor.
