With grateful hearts, we celebrate the life of Karen Marie Martin Cash who woke up in the presence of our Almighty Father God on June 11, 2026.

Karen was born to Dawn and William Martin in Ashtabula, Ohio, and she was the eldest of five children. She married Thomas Wesley Cash on September 10, 1966 and started her family shortly after.

Among her greatest joys were gardening and interior design, where she created spaces that radiated warmth, beauty, and a sense of welcome to all who entered. She had a remarkable gift for transforming the ordinary into something meaningful, always infusing her surroundings with intention and grace.

Karen also leaves behind a powerful legacy of entrepreneurship through TC and Company, Small World, and Stoneybrook Memory Care Home. She poured her creativity, vision, and unwavering dedication into each of these endeavors, building businesses that reflected her eye for design and her deep love for life. Every project she touched became an extension of her spirit thoughtful, vibrant, and full of heart.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Dawn and William Martin; brother, Michael; and sister, Pamela Barr.

Those left to love and cherish her memory are her beloved husband, Thomas; her dear sisters, Debra Ewing (Richard) of Harrison, AR and Billie Dawn Rousseau (Mark) of Dunedin, FL; children, Roy Wesley Cash (Anita) of Owensboro, KY, Connie Cash Culpepper (Dickie Jr.) of West Monroe, LA, Martin Thomas Cash of Sterlington, LA, and Dr. K’Anne Cash Arthur (Caleb) of Fayetteville, AR; grandchildren, Taylor Cash Lawson (David), Kellen Culpepper Davis (Matthew), Kaysen Culpepper, Stella and Wesley Arthur; and great-grandsons, Bryson Conley, Creighton Lawson, and Grant Davis.

The family wishes to extend their deepest appreciation to Highlands Oncology in Fayetteville, AR, Dr. K’Anne Cash Arthur, Dr. Patrick Travis, and the caring team who were always so kind and compassionate.

A special thank you to the staff at Elara Hospice, whose gentle care brought comfort to the entire family.
