of Maumelle, AR

May 14, 1954 - November 24, 2024

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Karen Burnett Schmidt. Karen shed her earthly body and gained her angel wings on Sunday, November 24, 2024, in Little Rock, Arkansas. She will be remembered as a loving wife, mother and a beautiful sister and aunt to many. Most of all, Karen was a proud ''nana'' and would take every opportunity to share stories of her little angels. While her family and friends will miss her every day, we rejoice in knowing she is Home and rejoins her brothers and sisters who she missed dearly.

Karen was born May 14, 1954, in Lubbock, Texas and was a graduate of DeQueen High School in DeQueen, Arkansas (Class of 1972). After high school, she moved to Little Rock where she built a career with AT&T (formerly known as Southwestern Bell Telephone). She retired as a Communication Consultant in 2005.

Karen is preceded in death by her mother and father, Allene and Garland Burnett, brothers Jimmy and Richard Burnett, and sisters Sharon Stewart and Belva Jones. She is survived by her husband of 45 years Johnny Schmidt, children Kyle (Anne Marie) Schmidt and Sarah Schmidt, her grandbabies Connor and Emilia Schmidt, and two sisters Doris Owings and Pam Burnett.
