Publish in a newspaper
Karen M. Gaynor, a loving mother, daughter, sister, and aunt, passed away suddenly on October 13, 2025. She was born on May 9, 1959 and brought warmth, laughter, and love to everyone who knew her.
Karen's greatest joy in life was her son, Ryan, whom she loved endlessly and with all her heart. She was a devoted and caring mom whose love knew no limits. Throughout her many years as a hairdresser, Karen touched countless lives. Her clients quickly became friends, drawn to her kindness, humor, and the genuine care she showed everyone she met. She loved all "her people" deeply and had a gift for making others feel special and seen.
She will be deeply missed by her family, her beloved son Ryan, and all those fortunate enough to have shared in her life. A private celebration of life will take place for immediate family. Karen's memory will live on forever in the hearts of those she loved. Please keep her family in your prayers during this difficult time.
