Karen Yatteau Obituary
Mom struggled with high-functioning bipolar disorder for much of her life. She developed dementia toward lifes end but always lived life as best she could. She loved her family, garage sales, the color purple, crafting, caring for her four-legged pets (mostly cats & dogs) and participating in the events of various organizations/clubs but specifically Macedon Public Library in her later years.
A special thank you to the nurses, aides & staff at Aaron Manor Nursing Center. Their efforts & assistance with mom's care was exemplary.
Service and interment are at the convenience of the family.

I´m so sorry to hear of your mom´s passing. She was the driving force behind-and founder of- Macedon Public Library´s Thursday afternoon Mah Jongg group. I have no idea how many people she taught the game to, but I was one from 2014 and I continue to play weekly. We will remember Karen with every game. May her memory be a blessing to you and her family.
