Is there a St. Karen?

[Jacobus4]

I have a cousin named Karen who has died, and I would like to pray to her patron saint for her, but I have been unable to find a “St. Karen.”

The name Karen is derived from Catherine, and there are a number of saints named Catherine. One of these who might be a good intercessor for someone who recently died is St. Catherine of Genoa, a Franciscan tertiary who has been called the “Apostle of Purgatory.”
