Memorial Contributions
If you have lost a loved one from cancer, a wonderful way to honor their memory is to make a memorial contribution to Chemo Buddies.
​
As you know, enduring chemo is one of the toughest battles one can face. Your contribution enables us to come alongside those still in the fight and support them. 100% of your contributions will be used locally to support those still in the fight. We do not receive funding from the locations where we serve, but are a community led movement to help others going through the journey we have been through. All donations are tax deductible as we are a 501(c)3 charity.

If you are making funeral arrangements and wish to make Chemo Buddies your charity of choice, we are happy to provide all donors with personalized thank you notes and provide you with the information of all donations received. For more information, contact Jill Kincaid at info@mychemobuddies.com
Karen Wilhite Williams
Karen is the inspiration behind Chemo Buddies.
Karen Rene Wilhite Williams, 53, of Evansville, passed away Monday, July 25, 2011 at her home. Karen’s main passion in life were her children, Jeremy and Danielle. They have been a strong family of love and care. She has been a source of strength and a light to many friends and people as she battled her disease with determination, and grace.

Her message to those who knew her was the peace she felt with God and that she was embraced in his love and felt no fear.

Karen was an account manager for 15 years for South Central Media (WIKY). She was a graduate of the University of Evansville with a degree in Marketing. She was involved with “Water for People” for several years to raise funds to supply clean water for countries in need.

Karen is the inspiration for the Chemo Buddies program. She always had friends and family with her during chemo and her heart broke for others who were in chemo and seemed to have no one. As she looked around the chemo room, she said, “We’ve got to do something, no one should ever have to go through chemo alone.” Together with her sister, she co-wrote the proposal for what is now Chemo Buddies, while sitting in the treatment room getting her chemo. Her caring and nurturing spirit lives on through the volunteers who now serve.

Karen is survived by her daughter, Danielle Williams of Evansville and her son, Jeremy Jones of Tampa, Florida. Also surviving are her parents, Vernie and Jerry Wilhite and (sister) Jill and Johnny Kincaid of Evansville.
