My condolences to the Kenny family. Karen was a special lady who I had the honor to meet and care for at Loomis Village. Karen you are missed. May you RIP my friend.

Karen’s son Michael is the same age as my son; they grew together at the Methodist Church in Greenfield. Karen was such a presence and supporter of Michael and all the teens. The community lost a wonderful person when she moved. Our condolences to the family.

My deepest sympathy to Karen's family.
I shared many years with her singing with the South Hadley Chorale. We also did exercises and yoga together at the South Hadley Senior center. Many times, we enjoyed coffee or a sandwich together and had some nice conversations, which always included updates about her son Michael.
She never seemed to complain and was such a trooper trying to fight Parkinsons.
I have thought of her fondly during the past year or so.
Rest in peace...

My deepest sympathy to Karen´s family. I met Karen while she was working at the CCATT center at Hampshire Collaborative. She was generous in sharing her knowledge, and was part of an amazing team who taught me so much. I have thought of her fondly over the years -she made a life long impression.

Karen was at Loomis Village for a relatively short time but she impressed many of us with her enthusiasm and eagerness to join in many of our activities including exercise classes, yoga and even pool volleyball. We're glad we got to know you Karen. Rest in Peace

My condolences to the family Karen was a great person im glad I had the pleasure of meeting her being by her side when she need it.

This was the Aunt I was named after! Growing up I was called little Karen! Family get togethers was always a fun thing and when my son was born my mother and her would always get together with their grandkids (who are a month apart) to have such sisterly good times together! She will forever be missed!

During the last 10 years of Karen`s life, I was privileged to call her a devoted friend. Although she struggled with fighting the symptoms of Parkinson´s disease we shared a mutual support for each other with laughter and love Rest well my friend. I miss you terribly

Karen was such a relentless warrior in our Parkinson´s group. Our sympathies go out to her family. Paul & Peggy Carbonneau
