Personal note from Karen's Family

Our sweet, fiery, fun loving mom passed away peacefully in her sleep on Oct. 20, 2025. She was deeply woven into each of our lives in such meaningful ways. Her strength, her independence, and her perseverance will live on in all of us. She faced her own struggles, but also had so many moments of warmth, humor and quiet courage that left an imprint on those who truly saw her. May she finally rest in peace, and find the calm and comfort that she always sought in life. We love you (especially Tom who made your life complete and showed you the true meaning of unconditional love).

We would love for you to share any memories or photos you have of her in the condolence section.
