Karen Hartman Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Karen was a cherished wife and a proud mother who found immense joy in spending time with her sons. Whether cheering from the sidelines or celebrating their achievements, she was their biggest fan. Karen was also a loyal supporter of Philadelphia sports and never missed a chance to root for the Eagles or Phillies.
She was preceded in death by her husband Robert Joseph Hartman, her parents, Darline (Ternau) and Frank Keebler and sister Lynda Keebler. She is survived by her sons Frankie Willerton and his wife Dana, Joseph Hartman and grandson Cowan.
Friends may greet the family after 9am on Saturday, November 8, 2025. A Celebration of Life will be at 11am followed by interment in Eglington Cemetery.

Sending my prayers and sympathy to Frankie and Joseph on the death of your mother. Karen was a wonderful daughter, mother and grandmother. Having known her throughout her life, she will be remembered as caring, loving and supportive to her parents and sister. May she rest in peace as she is joined with her family and friends.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of God, family and friends. Please find comfort in the words found at Isaiah 61:1,2.
