Caren was born February 10, 1961, in Killeen, Texas to Vernon and Ladine Conder Cowan. She graduated from Lawton Senior High School in 1978. She married Parker Watson on May 17th, 1980 in Lawton, Oklahoma. They had two sons, Ryan and Scott and raised them in Lawton, Oklahoma. Later Caren and Parker moved to Killeen in November of 2004. She enjoyed snow skiing, traveling to Michigan, San Diego, and Florida many times to watch her sons play golf, but most of all she enjoyed being with her family.

Caren always opened up her home to many friends, including two foreign exchange students and a niece she cared for from an infant to two years of age. Caren was a beautiful, amazingly giving, loving and kind hearted person who celebrated life each and every day. She shared her passion for life with all those whom she came in contact with. For those who she touched will remember her forever as an angel in their heart.

Caren was preceded in death by her Father Vernon Cowan; maternal Grandparents Willie and Ione Conder; and her Uncle Charles Conder.

Caren, we love you and we will miss you. You will forever and ever have a special place in our hearts.
