It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Karen Marie Martin of Peach Bottom, PA, who left us on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at the age of 56. Born in Baltimore, MD on April 25, 1969, Karen was a bright light in the lives of her family and friends. Her laughter was contagious, and her love for music and concerts brought joy to many. She found beauty in the world around her, particularly in flowers, which she cherished.
In her professional life, Karen dedicated herself to customer support within an array of various fields. Her kindness and patience shone through in her work, and she was always ready to lend a listening ear or a helping hand to those in need.
Karen leaves behind her loving husband, Patrick Martin, her father Robert Kiebler, Sr. (Patricia) of Perryville, MD, her brother Robert Kiebler, Jr. (Jamie) of Rising Sun, MD, her sister Katie Salada (Billy) of Alder, MT, and a host of cherished relatives, including her step-son Zach Martin of Lancaster, PA, step-daughter Alician Manzanet of Port St. Lucie, FL, step- granddaughter Vera June Manzanet, nephew Billy Salada III, niece Kelly Salada, and nephew Gabriel Kiebler. Each of them will hold her memory close and carry on her legacy of love and laughter.
She was preceded in death by her mother Dorothy (Bosse) Kiebler.
A funeral service will be held on July 19, 2025, at 11:00 am at Crouch Funeral Home P.A., 127 South Main Street, North East, MD where family and friends will gather to celebrate Karen's life. There will be a public viewing from 10:00 am to 11:00 am on the same day for those who wish to pay their respects. Following the service, Karen will be laid to rest at West Nottingham Cemetery, Colora, MD.
Through all her passions and relationships, Karen reminded us of the importance of love, joy, and the beauty of life. We invite all who knew her to join us in honoring her memory and sharing the many stories that reflect the impact she had on our lives.
