Karen Logsdon Phillips

Karen Logsdon Phillips passed away on June 26, 2025, at the age of 74. Born on March 18, 1951, in Cave City, Kentucky, to the late Edmond T. and Elizabeth Logsdon. Karen lived a life dedicated to her family and her passions. She graced the world with her warmth and curiosity.

Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Wayne Phillips, her son Nathan Lindsay, and her brothers Edmond “E.T.” Logsdon and William Luther Logsdon.

A devoted mother, Karen was known for her deep care for those around her. Her inquisitive nature led her on fascinating journeys through genealogy, where she uncovered the rich histories of her ancestors. This passion not only connected her to her roots but also inspired her to share the stories of those who came before her with her family.

In addition to her genealogical pursuits, Karen had a profound appreciation for the great outdoors and the history encapsulated within America’s National Parks. She was actively involved in raising funds to support the Mammoth Cave carriage fund, demonstrating her commitment to preserving these natural treasures for future generations.

She is survived by her loving daughter, Angela Hunter, and her husband, Col. (Ret.) Sam Hunter, her step-son, Justin (Blair) Phillips. Her grandchildren include Sammy Hunter, Benjamin Lindsay, Christian Lindsay, Ashiah Lindsay, Bryce Lindsay, Emory Phillips, Harper Phillips, Beckett Thomas Phillips, and Campbell Pearl Phillips, as well as her dog, Peg.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Karen Phillips will be remembered not just for her accomplishments but for the love and kindness she extended to everyone she met. Her spirit lives on in her family and in the histories she cherished.
