Karen Lyn Posey

 Karen Lyn Posey “Lyn”, 68, of Alma, Kansas, left this world on April 25, 2025, at the University of Kansas Health System hospital, Kansas City, Kansas.

 Lyn was born on October 12, 1956, in Kermit, Texas, to parents Alfred Richard "Dick" and Melba Lee (Bonds) Posey. She met Marne Louis Haller in 1983 and began a life filled with duty to their community and faithfulness to God.

 Lyn wore many hats throughout her journey, but her proudest professional achievements came as Activities Director at Alma Manor for over 12 years. There, she spread joy and cared for the residents until life presented her with physical challenges. Prior to this role, she spent many years with the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service.

 Lyn’s affectionate nickname, "Nana," was lovingly given to her by her family and the younger generations she warmly welcomed to her home and family. Lyn's hands and spirit were always in service to others, from her active participation in Sunday school and school room mother while raising her children to her devotion as a volunteer at a homeless shelter in Topeka. Her other nickname, “Sneaky,” came from deeds of kindness, so often done quietly and without recognition, that would catch her family by surprise. Lyn’s love for her family was evident in her presence at every special event she could attend, including traveling to Texas to support her nieces and nephews. Let’s not forget her baked goods that earned her a special place in the hearts of those who tasted her yummy desserts.

 Lyn will be deeply missed by her husband Marne; her three loving children, Brooke Haller (John VanHoecke) of Kansas City, Missouri, Derek Haller of Manhattan, Kansas, and Kendra Haller (Trey Borgrud) of DeKalb, Illinois; two precious grandchildren, Kadynce Cophia and Madison Lyn; two siblings, Barbara (Doug) Beckett of Magnolia, Texas, and Richard (Skeet) Posey of Oro Valley, Arizona; as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and dear friends.

 Lyn rejoins her parents in eternal rest.

 A memorial service will be held on April 30, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at the Alma United Methodist Church, with Pastor Cindy Neill officiating. The service will be livestreamed through the church's Facebook page at the following link: Alma United Methodist Church Facebook.

 Memorial contributions may be made to the Alma United Methodist Church to support the children's ministry in memory of Lyn's love for children. Please make checks payable to the "Alma United Methodist Church," and those may be sent to Campanella & Stewart Funeral Home, P.O. Box 48, Wamego, Kansas, 66547.

She will forever be remembered as a beacon of love, kindness, and unwavering faith in God, whom she served diligently throughout her life.
