URBANDALE - Karen Lee Warman Hayes of Urbandale, Iowa passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on July 12, 2020. Karen was born on July 3, 1937 at Ellsworth Community Hospital in Iowa Falls, Iowa to Thelma LaVeda Hamilton Warman and Leonard Orville Warman. She grew up on a farm in Alden, Iowa and graduated from Alden High School in 1955. Karen married Leroy Raymond Hayes on September 15, 1956. They made their home in several different Iowa towns including Webster City, Belmond, Hampton, Prairie City, Morrison, and finally settled in Urbandale 28 years ago.
Karen worked as a homemaker raising the family and later passionately worked for the Iowa Egg Council for over 25 years as an Egg Promotion Specialist. She traveled throughout the state of Iowa "telling the good egg story" at events including the Iowa State Fair and many times included her grandchildren in the process. She was also known for her amazing omelets and deviled eggs.
Karen was proud to be a member of the Republican party and worked for many years as a caucus chair. She loved to travel and she and Leroy visited many countries around the world. Karen had a lifelong love of collecting owls, knitting, reading and listening to Elvis music. She attended Lutheran Church of Hope and Aldersgate United Methodist Church.
