Karen Ann Greyshock age 58 of Wayne passed unexpectedly to life eternal on Monday, September 17, 2012.
Karen was born on September 28, 1953 in Fort Worth, Texas, while her dad served in the Air Force. The family then moved to Wayne, NJ where Karen spent her happy childhood years. She received her formal education at Lafayette Grammar School and then went on to Wayne Valley High School graduating with the Class of 1971.
Having a strong will, as well as a natural ambition to earn her own way, she started her first job at Buxton’s Ice Cream on Route 23 in Wayne. She later worked at the European Health Spa in Wayne after graduating from High School. Karen attended Tom Brock College in West Paterson and earned her associate degree in English. After college, Karen, for 10 years, was the manager of Health Spa One in Saddle Brook, NJ. She took great pride in her job and maintained a high level of dedication to her daily responsibilities.
For the past 11 years, Karen was a Department Manager of Kohl’s, located in West Paterson, NJ. Karen loved her job as well as her coworkers. She felt her co-workers were her extended family. She also volunteered and did various charitable events, including walk-a-thons with her fellow co-workers and volunteering for the Children’s Hospital. Karen also had many talents including gardening and making beautiful floral arrangements.
Karen was baptized at Our Lady of The Valley RC Church in Wayne and loved her Roman Catholic faith.
Karen was gifted with an extraverted upbeat personality that was always reaching out to others in their special needs. Because she interacted with people in such positive ways, she had a host of friends. Her heart went out to the needy, whether animal or human.
She had a great deal of love for all kinds of animals. She would often rehabilitate wild life so that they could go on with their lives.
If she heard that someone needed a pint of blood she was up front donating her own blood. The bottom line in her life was that she was a selfless and kind person always ministering to others above herself.
Surviving to mourn this special person in their lives are her mother Martha Greyshock; two sisters Elizabeth Wells and her husband Roger and Victoria Greyshock all of Wayne; two brothers Paul Greyshock of Wayne and Christopher Greyshock and his wife Jean of West Milford; one nephew Nicholas Theobold.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Wayne Animal Shelter or the World Wildlife Fund on behalf of Karen would be appreciated.
