Karen O'Connor

Mrs. O'Connor - You were special. Even though I was not a talent on the piano, I looked forward to my lessons with you. I couldn't quit because I enjoyed learning with you. Over the many years after I stopped with the piano lessens, I LOVED you for your sense of humor. The best memories I have are of you and Lee together. What an awesome team! And those memories will never fade. My thoughts and prayers are with your doughters and Jim. Amazing family. Even though you left us way too...

Karen had a twinkle in her eye and a heart full of wonder that she shared with all of us who were blessed enough to have know her through her daughter Kate. To know that you are loved and to be able to have loved is one of the truly remarkable parts of having lived and she had and gave immeasurably in this regard. The O'Connors have shared this wonderful life with us and we hold you all close at heart. Bill McGlinn and Mark Mascolini (Allentown, PA)

Dear Family, Karen is cherished by so many of us. I am honored to be among her friends who love her so much. She was a wonderful teacher of music,family life,friendship and so much more. Even in her illness she has taught me. Everyday I have reminders of her in my life. Blessings and peace to Pastor, Krista, Katie and their families.

O'Connor Family,
You are in my hearts and prayers, and have been for some time. Karen taught me piano lessons for 10 years, and I always looked forward to coming to her house - whether I had practiced enough or not! I'm thankful for her kindness, and her gift of music that she eagerly share with me. I will remember her when I play. God be with you all.

Dear Kate and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and always.

Karen's family loved her so much and I know why. She was a sweet, bubbly, kind person. She and her husband raised two wonderful daughters. I know she was so proud of them and their families. God bless them all.

We loved Karen, and I will be eternally grateful for the music she brought to my life, and for loving my children.

Karen was a jewel to our family. Her music lives on in many hearts and lives. She is missed and my heart goes out to her beautiful family, I love you guys and miss you.

I am heartbroken to hear of Mrs. O’Connor’s passing. She will forever leave an imprint on my heart as my music teacher, piano teacher, and overall life teacher. -Rachel (Sheldahl) Beasley
