Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on December 17, 1953, to the late Betty (Moody) Rabena and Edward Rabena, Karen brought joy and creativity into the lives of everyone she encountered.

A proud graduate of Cedar Cliff High School, Karen furthered her education at York College of the Arts, obtaining an Associate's Degree that reflected her passion for learning and her artistic talents. Throughout her career, she served with dedication where her hard work and commitment were truly appreciated by her colleagues.

A talented artist, Karen, had a deep love for drawing and painting, finding comfort and joy in her creative pursuits. She cherished the moments spent with family, always making time to nurture the bonds that meant so much to her.
