Karen Antoinette Gnazzo

Karen Antoinette Gnazzo, 62, of New Cumberland, Pa. left us peacefully on November 25, 2025. She brightened this earth with her sense of humor, love and laughter. She adored her amazing adult daughters, Niki and Ariel along with her precious grandchildren. She found her greatest joy in their smiles and adventures together.

Karen cherished her home, traveling, and shopping, a good scary movie, exercising, basking in the sun, savoring good food and dining out, enjoying her time spent with Wade, her family and friends, and caring tenderly for her beloved pets.

She leaves behind her dedicated partner Wade Ritter of 25 years, her beautiful daughters Niki Brown (Berkley) and Dr. Ariel Darnall (Bill), four adorable grandchildren (Banner, Rowan, Indy and Ekko), brothers Paul Gnazzo (Lucy), Larry Gnazzo and Matthew and David Grosh, stepmother Carol Ann Grosh, and many adoring nieces and nephews, (Lucy Alana and Lauren Gnazzo, Rose and Lynn Gnazzo, Tessa and Devin Grosh, and Vincent Shorter), plus countless cousins. She was preceded in death by her mother Toni Gnazzo, father Dr. Paul Grosh, and her sweet Corgi Dewey.

Over the years, Karen relished working for the PA Attorney General's Office, various popular restaurants and many other businesses and industries. Before returning to Pennsylvania, Karen cherished living in Arizona for 12 years along with her loved ones where she thrived on the sunshine and beautiful Southwest lifestyle. Karen was born in Philadelphia, Pa. and grew up primarily in Central Pa.

May our cherished memories continue to warm the hearts of all who knew her. She will be extremely missed. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to: Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club, Attn.: Pat Koons, PWCCP Rescue, 3303 Days Mill Road, York, PA 17408 or visit www.pwcca.org.
