FISKDALE – Karen (Sadowsky) Kaufman, 70, born on July 9, 1952 and passed away on October 28, 2022. She was the daughter of Lester and Joan (Ziegler) Sadowsky.
She leaves her husband, Richard Kaufman; her mother, Joan Sadowsky; three siblings, John (and his wife Birgit), Laura Sadowsky (and her husband Guy Bouchard) and Ken; an uncle, Harold and his wife, Myrna Sadowsky; three nephews, Yuri, Numa and Mica Sadowsky; many cousins and beloved friends.
Karen was born in Worcester and attended the Bancroft School. She went on to Skidmore College where she flourished, graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1974. She later became a nutritionist with an MS and CCN. She loved to give out healthy eating tips to all who would listen. She was an avid Boston sports fan. She was a voracious reader of many, diverse topics and was happy to opine on them, too. While she battled auto-immune diseases for much of her adult life, she did so with little (mostly) complaints & much grace and dignity. She cherished family and time with family – traditional values were among her guiding principles.
A graveside service will be held at 12 noon on Monday, October 31, at B’nai Brith Cemetery, 55 St. John’s Rd., Worcester. Immediately following the interment service, Karen's family invites everyone to a Memorial Observance Reception in the clubhouse of Salisbury West, 770 Salisbury Street, Worcester, through 7:00 pm, with a Minyan service at 5:45 pm. The family will also have calling hours on Tuesday, November 1st, from 3:00 - 7:00 pm, with a Minyan service at 5:30 pm at Salisbury West.
