Karla Neal Dame

Karla Neal Dame passed away on December 10, 2022. Born February 1, 1964, Karla is preceded in death by her mother, Connie Jackson. Survived by sisters Kerri McGrath, Kristine Jackson, Kimberly Hanna; sons Donald Dame Jr. and Jeremy Dame (Amelia); and grandchildren Donald Dame III, Ashlyn Dame, Kaelan Dame, and Jayden Dame.

Karla was known as a loving grandmother, mother, sister, and friend. She was a skilled home cook and a deep lover of all things in nature. No matter where she was, her genuine care and concern for the people around her was always a welcome sense of warmth and comfort. Originally from California, Karla would move on with her family to spend a majority of her life between the states of Missouri and Tennessee. She was always a fan of the people, the aesthetic, and living a simpler life. 

Not only is Karla survived by blood, but also by those connections of love and family that she made with those around her. Those that called her mom, grandma, or any variation will also forever carry on her love and spirit. 

All of those around Karla will forever deeply miss her.

“What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”
—Helen Keller
