Karen P. Felton
April 21, 1957 - July 12, 2021
Karen Felton passed away on July 12, 2021 at age 64 surrounded by her loving family. She was an amazing person with an incredibly kind, caring, and loving spirit.
Karen was born to Joseph and Mary Putkovich on April 21, 1957. She was raised in Niles, Ohio, graduated from Niles McKinley High School in 1975, and went on to attend Cleveland State University. She moved to the Bay Area after earning her Bachelor's degree in Physical Therapy in 1981. She worked for California Children's Services in San Francisco for over 30 years and in Oakland for 6 years. As a pediatric physical therapist, she touched the lives of an incredible amount of kids, families, and fellow therapists. She put her heart and soul into her work, and it certainly showed.
She was a Hallmark movie enthusiast, semi-professional tea sommelier, passive sports fan, professional dog petter and cuddler, and the sweetest woman who ever walked the face of the earth.
More than anything, she loved her family. She was so dedicated to her 3 children and was fully involved with their lives. She served as a Cub Scout Den Leader for over 5 years for both of her sons and served as a Girl Scout co-leader for 13 years for her daughter's Girl Scout troops.
Karen is preceded in death by her loving parents, Joseph and Mary Putkovich (Sisco). She is survived by her husband Greg Felton; 3 devoted children, Matthew, Bryant, & Elise; siblings, Lynnette, Michael, & Chris; and a large extended family.
