Karen Ann Hunsberger

Karen Ann Hunsberger, 69, a resident of Bloomington, Indiana, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, June 6th, 2023. She was born in February 1954, to Robert and Lena Leeman in Hamilton County, Indiana. She was a 47-year member of The General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn; baptized in 1975 in Homestead, Oklahoma, and currently attended in Morgantown, Indiana. Karen Graduated as Valedictorian of the 1972 class at Hamilton Heights High School in Arcadia, Indiana. After high school, Karen attended Indiana Business College where she graduated with a Senior Accounting certificate and accepted her first accounting position at a Ford Motor Company dealer development store in Noblesville, Indiana. Later in her career, Karen completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration at Indiana Wesleyan University, graduating Summa cum Laude in 2001. The love of her life was her husband of 36 years, Jonathan, and their three children Jon, Candace, and Trevor, and her four grandchildren, Wesley, Colton, Jaxon, and Willow. With an affinity for accounting at a very young age, Karen would ask her mother for any unused checkbook registers that she would then use to play store and record her sales. As an adult, she made a career in accounting, working for small firms until 1982, when she became an employee of the Army Finance and Accounting Center (later known as Defense Finance and Accounting Service) at the former Ft. Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis. She spent the next 29 and a half years working on, and later managing, accounting teams who provided services to many Army customer groups from Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital and the Army Budget Office in the D.C. area to Ft. Ord and the Defense Language Institute in California. She especially enjoyed traveling to many of these areas along with getting to help develop and test Army and DoD accounting systems. While Karen truly appreciated her career in DoD, she was thrilled to retire in December, 2011, and spend more time with her family. Karen enjoyed hobbies of reading, journaling, watching movies, and walks with Jon, along with traveling when they could. She loved flowers and always encouraged her husband's green thumb. Some of her favorites were the wildflower beds with miniature sunflowers he planted that provided cuttings throughout the summer and fed the butterflies. Karen is survived by her husband, her three children, and her four grandchildren whom she loved dearly, as well her brothers, Mike (Christine) Leeman of Anderson, Kevin (Angela) Leeman of South Carolina, Brian (Robin) Leeman of Noblesville, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in Death by her father, Robert Earl Leeman Sr. and mother, Lena Fancis Leeman (Jacobs), her brother Bobby Leeman (Robert Jr.), her sisters Joyce Ellen Roberts and Elaine Anita Cain, her niece Amy, nephew Aaron, and great nephew Adam.
