With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Karen Hendel of Coventry, Connecticut, born in Queens, New York, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Karen left this world on August 22, 2024 at the age of 78, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let her loved ones carry forward the torch of her memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of her love and the brilliance of her spirit. Though Karen may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, her essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.

She was predeceased by: her parents, John Brandenstein and Marie Brandenstein (Wurtz); and her children, Janice and Thomas. She is also survived by her 19 children, 28 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, sister, and nieces and nephews.
