At the age of 34 Karah's life was tragically cut entirely too short. She will be sorely missed and will forever remain in our hearts. We will yearn for the rest of our lives to be reunited with our beloved Karah.
Karah was above all a wonderful, doting mother. She was a loyal sister and attentive daughter. She was an amazing partner and friend. She always had the time for anyone who needed it, regardless of whether she had the time to spare. Even if she did not have the solution, she was consistently by your side. She is survived by her life partner Wayne, her two children Julia Rose and Wayne "Bodhi" Joseph III. Her mother, Jennifer, father Michael, her brother Christopher and his wife Elena, along with Karah's three nieces: Autumn, Grace and Summer. She also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and her stepfather, who all loved her dearly.
She grew up across the country and even Germany-but Massachusetts was her home. Karah completed both high school and certified nursing assistant school simultaneously, graduating in 2009. It was Karah's calling to help others, even if it meant sacrificing herself. That was who she was, always putting others ahead of herself. Karah's life was a roller coaster ride, but she was a strong woman who over her last years successfully overcame some of the biggest obstacles in her life. We are all very proud of her recent accomplishments. She was her children's fiercest advocate, fighting tooth and nail for all their needs. They flourished because of it. The void she leaves as a mother will be impossible to fill. She loved her children more than anything else in this universe.
"To call one's name is to never be forgotten" – Karah will never be forgotten.
May she rest in peace.
