Karen Sue Buster

Karen Sue Buster- 67
Of Valdosta, Georgia passed away peacefully at her residence on Monday, September 23, 2024, surrounded by her family. She was born on June 19, 1957, in Washington Courthouse to the late Milton Edwin Taylor and Helen Sue (Thompson) Taylor. She was raised by the late Larry and Patricia Stiers who she cherished dearly. Karen was a quick-witted soul with a heart as generous as they come; she would give you anything, even the shirt off her back. Cooking was her love language, she prepared meals for anyone and everyone, often tossing ingredients together without measuring, infusing each dish with warmth and affection. Her laughter was as vibrant as her culinary creations. Key West was her happy place, where she would lose herself in books while the ocean waves whispered nearby. Talented in countless ways, she approached life with an infectious enthusiasm that inspired those around her. But above all, Karen’s greatest joy was her family; she loved them fiercely and unconditionally, making every moment spent together feel special. Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her beloved daughter-in-law, Wendy Knighton Buster, DVM; sister, Pam Taylor; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Patrick Buster and Patricia Buster; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Clellon Buster, Jr. and Sara Buster.
Survivors include her loving husband of 48 years, Rodney Buster of Valdosta, Georgia; son, Jeremy Scott Buster of Oshkosh, Wisconsin; daughter, Amber Michelle Arnold of Valdosta, Georgia; son in law, Dustin Arnold of Valdosta, Georgia; grandchildren: Jackson Ty Arnold of Valdosta, Georgia; brothers: Eddie Taylor and Terry Taylor; sisters: Patty Taylor and Sherry Taylor; sister in law, Tammy Turpin and Cindy Faulk; four legged companions: Baylee, Chance, and Beretta; numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
