Karen Sue Hoglan, 78, of Georgetown, Texas, passed away on September 2, 2026, in Round Rock, Texas, after a brief and valiant battle with ovarian cancer. She was born September 30, 1947, in Baytown, Texas, to Simmie and Sarah White.
Karen met Billy Lee over root beer at Velmire’s in Baytown when they were teenagers, and they married on August 2, 1966, at Highlands Baptist Church. They celebrated sixty years together just weeks before her passing. She had an extensive career and retired as a rural carrier with the United States Postal Service, and she made her home in Williamson County for 44 years. She was a quilter and a wildflower gardener; she loved to travel with her devoted husband in their airplane or by car. She had a love for all animals, taking in every stray that found its way to her door. Nobody who showed up at her house ever left hungry.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Simmie and Sarah White; her brother, Belton White; her sister, Betty Joy Smith; her son, Daniel Lee Hoglan; and her great-grandson, Archer Daniel Demke. She is survived by her husband, Billy Lee Hoglan of Georgetown; her daughter, Stephanie Marie Hoglan; her granddaughter, Mandie Lee Demke and husband Matthew; her great-grandson, Silas Lee Demke; and a wide circle of family and friends who loved her.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you hug the people you love, take the trip, take someone somewhere special and make a memory, feed the wildlife, and plant a flower in her loving memory.
Visitation will be held Tuesday, September 8, 2026, from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. at Cook-Walden/Davis Funeral Home on Williams Drive in Georgetown, Texas, with a funeral service beginning at 10:00 a.m. Karen will be laid to rest at I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Georgetown
