Karen received her education in the public schools of Northampton and Accomack County. She was a 1986 graduate of Nandua High School in Onley, Virginia.

She also served on the Women’s Ministry of the Baptist General Convention (BGC).
In her leisure, Karen enjoyed watching football. The New York Giants were her favorite team. She didn’t play about her team, if you wanted to make her mad then talk about her team.
In addition to her parents, Karen was preceded in death by her sister, Patricia Rogers; nephew, Alvin L. Rogers, Jr.; one uncle; and grandparents.
She leaves to cherish her memory: her husband, Kelvin L. Poulson, Sr.; son, Marcus A. Rogers; six grandchildren; siblings, Alice (Roy) James, Francis (Tonisha) Bailey, John (Sally) Rogers, Alvin (Vicki) Rogers, Brenda Bailey, George (Elva) Rogers, Allene Williams, William (Latanya) Rogers, and Anthony (Victoria) Rogers; special friends, Helen Bailey, Kim Church, and Marquita Savage; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
