Kari Lee Armstrong
Love transcends time, but how can that be.
I am the light from the sun beaming off the sea.
I am the current moving a river and the wind through the leaves.
I am the glimpse of a comet begging to be seen, please.
If you are ever searching for me, you know where I can be found.
I am the wings lifting a butterfly soaring high above the ground.
You can find comfort knowing that I will always be around.
I left pieces of me within you all and within you all I surround.
-Jordan Constantinou and Jenna Conn

It is with immense sadness that we share that Kari passed away
peacefully at home on September 19, 2023, after a long and courageous
battle with brain cancer.
Kari was born in Lakeland, Florida on August 21st
, 1977, and lived in
Seffner, Florida. She is lovingly remembered by her father, Larry
Armstrong of Rhine, Georgia; and her mother, Janie Armstrong of
Seffner, Florida; her two daughters, Jordan Constantinou (Jared) and
Jenna Conn (Shannon); her brother, Michael Armstrong (Sara); and
her four beloved nephews, Harlynn, Westen, Carson, and Connor. Kari
loved her family fiercely and enjoyed spending as much time with them
as she could. She was especially close to her nephews, cousins, aunts,
and extended family and friends. Kari took great pleasure in spending
time with her nephews and in taking care of her four-legged family
members, Roxy, Zoey, Jasmine and Jade. Kari was known for her
sense of humor, talents for baking and horticulture, and love of games.
She also had a passion for art, crafting, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
and for the Florida State Seminoles.
A Celebration of Life will be announced and held at a later date. In
Lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Humane Society of
Tampa Bay.
I love the opening passage. It is a beautiful way to remember a loved one. May her memory be eternal.
Thinking of you and wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain. May the love of family carry you through.
My heart is with your entire family as well as my thoughts and prayers. The passage by Jordan and Jenna is beautiful. It has provided me with more appreciation for life and continued remembrance of friends and family that I have lost. All my best hopes and prayers for you all.
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Kari Lee Armstrong. As Queen Elizabeth II once said, “Grief is the price we pay for love.” May you find comfort in the love and memories you shared with Kari, and may her spirit live on in your hearts.
Kari’s strength and resilience were undoubtedly a testament to the incredible love and support she received from her family. May she find eternal rest and joy in heaven with God.
Janie there are no words I can speak that will make this tragedy any better for you. Please know I am here for you if you need me for anything it doesn’t matter what, if you need someone to talk to or shoulder to cry on or anything you need help with moving things or any help with anything just give me a call.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Prayers for you and your family.
Kari’s family, my deepest sympathies for your loss.
I know there are no words that I can say that will take away the pain in your heart. But know this, she is with Jesus and Jesus is with you and your family in this time of need. GOD bless you and your Family.
