Karen Hatchett Landry, age 76, of Elgin, passed away Tuesday, October 17, 2023 in Lawton.  She was born November 12, 1946 in Lawton to Philip and Bertha (Arlington) Powell.  She received her education from Elgin Public Schools and went on to graduate from Lawton High School. Karen married her high school sweetheart, Raymond Joe "Butch" Hatchett, Jr. in May of 1964 and they began raising their family in Walters, Oklahoma.  Karen and Ray had two sons, Gary Ray Hatchett, Sr. and Robert Keith Hatchett.  Karen was a loving and caring mother to her boys and truly enjoyed her daily check-ins with them.  Her hobbies included bowling tournaments and league bowling, where she won multiple women's awards.  Karen was a working wife and mother who started her career as a supervisor at Haggar Slacks in Temple, Oklahoma and later transferred to the Lawton facility where she remained until their closing in the 80's.  When the company was sold to KCA Apparel, she stayed employed there until their permanent closing in the 90's.

She finished her working career at Rocket Pawn and Jewelry in Lawton shortly after she was widowed.  Karen was a proud and prominent member of the Shriners and Order of Eastern Star.  She enjoyed helping her community by raising funds for the Shriners Burns Children's Hospital in Texas.

After grieving the loss of her first husband, she met the man she would love and enjoy living and living out the rest of her days with, Steve Landry. Steve and Karen were married for fifteen wonderful years, and she gained several new family members that she loved and adored.  She loved taking trips to Louisiana and enjoyed spending time around all of them. She loved a good adventure and experience at any age and was dedicated to living her life to the fullest.  She enjoyed traveling, fishing, a cold Coke and watching her favorite team, the Oklahoma Sooners.  She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sibling, aunt, coworker, and friend.
