About Karen was a wonderful sister, friend, teacher, mother and grandmother. Her life was cut short when she fought a great battle with pancreatic cancer.

Karen was active in high school as a band member, majorette and participated in many clubs. This was the same in adult life dedicating herself to helping others by teaching in the Philadelphia School System working with teenagers who were handicapped mentally or abused. She was committed to help them be successful in both life and school and helped many.
