Karen Sciarappo (nee' Berry), of Freehold, New Jersey, passed away surrounded by the love of her family.
Karen was predeceased by her beloved husband, Vee Sciarappo, her sisters Ellie McGill and Winifred Bauman, and her brother Kenneth Berry.
She is survived by her devoted children, Troy Sciarappo and Gina Zarro, her cherished grandchildren Nicholas Sciarappo, Gia Zarro, Dean Zarro, and Eva Zarro, her loving son-in-law Christopher Zarro and numerous nieces and nephews.
Karen was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a proud "Nanny." Her greatest joy in life came from being surrounded by family. She was known for her warmth, sense of humor, and the wonderful Thanksgiving and family dinners she hosted-gatherings that remain a treasured memory for all who knew her.
She loved spending time in Hobe Sound, Florida, where she enjoyed the beach, visiting favorite restaurants, and hosting her grandchildren during their school breaks. Her time there reflected her love of sunshine, laughter, and togetherness.
Originally from Spotswood, New Jersey, Karen carried her deep sense of family and kindness wherever she went. She will be remembered always for her loving spirit, her nurturing heart, and the joy she brought to every room she entered.
A small family burial service will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2025.
Her family and friends will forever cherish her memory and the love she shared so freely.
