Karen KNIGHT Obituary
Karen was born on April 6, 1957 in Washington, D.C., to Lorraine and Stanley Rochinski. She was a free spirit and didn't let the boundaries of life get in her way. In addition to the love she had for her friends and family, she had a great deal of love for animals. In her younger years she worked for the SPCA and cared for animals of nearly every species inside and outside the home.
Karen is survived by her children, Michael Poland and Kelly Phillips; her grandchildren, Kamren (10), Angelica (8), Kavon (7), and Makayla (2); her brothers, Ronald Danner and Steven Rochinski; her mother, Lorraine; and father, Stan; as well as the many friends she made during her journey in life.
Isaiah 43:1 "…says the LORD, who created you…fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are mine…"
