It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Karen Sue Holcomb, age 68, who departed this life on January 19, 2026, in Clewiston, Florida. Born on August 14, 1957,
in Belle Glade, Florida, Karen was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to many.

Additionally, Karen’s legacy lives on through her adoring grandchildren: Austin Holcomb, Hannah Holcomb, Haiverly Holcomb, Dayton Ransom, and Danalyn Ransom, as well as many other family members and friends whose lives she touched.
For over 36 years, Karen and Cecil shared a remarkable partnership in both love and work as they owned and operated Clewiston Towing. Her roles in the business were vital; she graciously answered calls late into the night and meticulously managed the bookkeeping during the day, ensuring the smooth operation of their family enterprise.

Her love for family was paramount, and she found joy in traveling to the mountains and spending time at the beach, sharing those precious moments with her loved ones.
