Karen is predeceased by her husband James; parents Stanley and Margaret (Eggert) Lubanski; sister and brother-in-law Marlise and Roger Burden; brothers Stanley Jr. and Donald.; sister-in-law and brother-in-law Mary and Jack Lawrence.

Karen grew up in Cuylerville and York, married Jim in 1964 and together they raised their family and worked the family farm in Fowlerville. Karen was a longtime employee of York Central School (first as a cafeteria worker, then later as a bus driver). Family was always a priority and she was an active participant in her kids and grandkids lives.... whether she was coaching Little League for her kids, T-ball for her grandkids or (along with Jim) being an avid spectator/supporter of the many events of their grandchildren (rarely missing a sporting event, band concert, OM competition or school function the kids were involved in). Karen kept in touch with friends through regular meet ups, rarely missing an opportunity to chat over coffee or breakfast. She was fun-loving and had a great laugh that was very infectious...family dinners would often involve lots of laughter usually started up by something she said or did. She will be missed dearly. Friends and family are invited to call from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday December 18, 2021 at Alhart Funeral Home 3068 West Main Street, Caledonia New York,followed by a reception at the family home.
