Karen Ann Stock
February 19, 1962 ~ September 30, 2022
Karen Ann Stock, 60, of Franklin, passed away on September 30, 2022, at Community South Hospital after a sudden cardiac event. Karen was born in Lowell, Massachusetts on February 19, 1962, to Frederick Richard and Beverly Dorothy (Provencher) Musgrave; Frederick preceded his daughter in death in 1999.
An incredibly selfless person, Karen was a devoted caretaker. She was a dedicated mother of three children. Outside of spending time with her family, Karen was an avid reader and loved to be in her garden. A hard worker, Karen worked for numerous years as a hairstylist and esthetician. A talent for baking, her kitchen was incredible, especially around Christmas time; she made the best cheesecake, fudge, and cookies. Holidays were her forte; she never failed to provide a feast for her family.
A very generous person, Karen was always looking for ways to help others. She did that right up until her passing by giving the gift of life to others through organ donation.
Survivors include her children, Eric William (Joanna) Stock, Randi Marie Stock, and Jessica (Stephen) Brown; her granddaughter, Tamsin Joyce Brown; her mother, Beverly Dorothy Musgrave; her siblings, Lynne (Gary) Valcourt, Michael and (Tracey) Musgrave, Richard (Diane) Musgrave; her beloved partner Troy Riser; his children, Margaret Roman (Luc) and Jacob Riser (Katya); his grandchildren, Emma and Kiera Roman; and a host of friends and extended family members.
Karen’s Life Celebration® Service will be held on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at 1:00 PM in the chapel of O’Riley – Branson Funeral Service & Crematory, 6107 South East Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46227. Her family will receive friends and family an hour prior to the service from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Indiana Donor Network; envelopes will be provided at the funeral home on Saturday.

I was lucky enough to work with Karen at salon number 7 years ago! She was always so sweet and kind, loved her books and always brought us treats. She was my favorite to do wedding party’s with, because she was so calm and collected she would also always take the hardest clients she loved the challenge. We stayed in touch theses past few years and she would tag me in posts all the time. Rest in peace my friend.
Karen was an amazing friend to me, and an auntie away from home. When I was pregnant with my daughter she surrounded me with love and showered us with gifts throughout my entire pregnancy. She helped me thru some difficult times and I’m so incredibly sorry to hear of this passing. ߘ” Karen will be very very missed.
Eric, Randi and Jessie, your mom was my best friend. I have so many fond memories of our times together, especially at Grannie Joyce’s lake house in Glens Falls, NY. She was the one to give Joe his first crew cut and taught Kate to sip through a straw. I will miss her everyday but I want you to know she is looking down on you three and is your Guardian Angel. Love you three. Auntie Beth
I was fortunate to work with Karen at Kohls. She always kept things positive and was always a delight to engage in conversation.
So sorry to hear this news. Karen was a high school friend. She was always vibrant and brought sunshine. Prayers and hugs.
Karen was such a beautiful person inside and out. I worked with her at No. 7 salon & spa and she always treated all of her clients like family. She would go out of her way to help anyone. She loved to bake and would frequently bring in her creations for employees at the salon to enjoy! They were always delicious! She has made a positive impact on the world and we should all be a little more like her. <3
I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Karen. I was her client at Salon 7. Karen was the kindest and beautiful person. She will definitely be missed but never forgotten. Sending prayers to her family and friends.
We love you Aunt Karen. May you rest in peace with Grampy. Love, Danielle, Lindsey, Brad, Garett, Kacey, Nora and Ava .
Eric, Randi & Jessie,
You don’t know me but I know so much about all of you – and I’m heartbroken for you. I just adored your mom. She (and she alone!) did my highlights and haircuts starting in 1995 when I started working in the #7 bldg. I’d had some pretty terrible experiences at salons so I was hopeful find someone in my new city who could really do I wanted. Karen nailed it! and I didn’t go to anyone else for more than 25 years, making the trip from Westfield to downtown (after getting married and moving out of downtown to the northern suburbs in 2000) every few months. Having spent 100s of hours in her chair over the years, I feel like I know your family (and she mine), and have prayed for all of you – and her – many times over the years during the many ups and downs of life that we shared with each other. I’m so sad to not be able to say goodbye, but praying God’s peace and comfort over you all as you grieve this loss.

May she Rest In Peace. My heart is heavy for everyone.

Dear Karen, may you RIP till we meet again somewhere, some time. Sirel, your friend

One time when I was down & out Karen took me to Walmart and bought me some clothes and a winter coat. That’s just how she was. She has helped me multiple times over the years. The world is a sadder place without her. Rest in peace beautiful lady.
I was Karen’s client for over 20 years. She was the best. We all will miss her great sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers to family
Karen was an absolute delight. I was acquainted with her through her salon work, and she was always a joy. I will miss her. My sincere condolences.
Troy – You have our deepest love and sympathy. We are extremely sorry for your loss . Love Tami & Catie Mangrum
Karen cut my hair for many years. We shared talking about books we read and movies we watched and about our families. I will miss her as a friend. Nancy Sala
My deepest condolences to Karen’s family. She was my stylist for 16 years. We would always talk about our families and cooking. She was the kindness person. I will miss you Karen.
Karen was the most incredible artist I ever met! She could always take my raggedy hair and turn me into some sort goddess. I will miss our conversations and our time together! Please tell Jimmy “hi” for me up there in heaven and fly high girl!! You deserve it! You and your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers!
You were such a giving person on this earth, just a little something in your honor girl!! Love and miss you!! You and your family are in my prayers!
I, too, knew Karen because she cut my hair. I got married in March, so a lot of wedding talk this year. My parents got COVID just before the wedding and we were a bit panicked they could miss it. I’m so sorry this happened just before yours. I can only start to imagine…
You will always be my hero after I left my family you keep on checking up on me and seeing how I am doing. may you rest and peace I will miss you Auntie

I know I’m way late to the game here, but I got my hair cut today and it made me think of Karen. She cut my hair for over 20 years, and you get to know someone after that. I looked forward to seeing her every couple months, not just for the haircut but to catch up and gossip about people we know and fill each other in on our lives. She was just a wholly good and decent person. Every time I get my hair cut now I think of her, get a little sad, and then smile.
