She graduated from Bishop Kenrick High School, class of 1979 where she met many lifetime friends.  After graduating, 

Karen spent many dedicated years working at Montgomery County Courthouse in the Clerk of Courts office.  She formed many close and lasting friendships there, staying in touch with her colleagues throughout her life. 

Karen was an avid shopper, a loyal Philadelphia Phillies fan, and someone who always enjoyed a trip to the casino.  She cherished time spent with her family and found joy in life's simple pleasures.

Karen faced many health challenges throughout her life and lived with significant pain for many years.  Despite this, she fought courageously each day,  determined to be present for her family, friends, and loved one.
