KAREN FAIRCHILD
Karen Sue Fairchild, longtime, well-loved resident of Denton, Texas, passed away after a brief illness on January 19, 2026
Karen was born on June 9, 1942, in Kingman, Kansas, to Dean Fairchild and Margaret (DeWeese) Fairchild. After graduating from Kingman High, she went on to earn her Nursing degree.
She began what would become a distinguished and successful career of over 45 years in Nursing. Most of that would be as Operating Room Supervisor at Westgate Hospital and later at Dr Stuart Lipton's surgery center. To say she was born to be a Nurse would be an understatement. Smart, Hardworking, and always compassionate would all describe her.
Most of all, Karen was fun in any situation. Almost never met a stranger and was as dependable as a friend/loved one as they come. She loved gardening, finding a good bargain, socializing, and always dressed to impress.
In retirement, she became a volunteer for the local hospital auxiliary, biggest dog lover of all time, and running buddy of her beloved neighbor, Warren Kinsler
She is predeceased by her daughter, Shelly Delaine Smith, Parents Dean & Margaret (DeWeese) Fairchild, and brother James Curtis Fairchild. She is survived by her son, Samuel Dean (Laura) Smith, of Highland Village, TX. Two grandchildren, Mac Smith, of College Station, TX, and Madalyn Blanton, of Double Oak, TX, Two wild great children (Ireland and Oliver) as well as countless Texas friends and family in her beloved hometown and final resting place of Hoosier Cemetery in Kingman, KS.
In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Kingman Healthcare Center Foundation would be deeply appreciated. Please send to KHCF, 750 West D Avenue, Kingman, KS 67068
