Karen M. Sibis, 66, Loretto, a devoted wife, loving mother, sister and daughter, passed away unexpectedly on Friday at UPMC Shadyside after a long battle with cancer.
She was born in Spangler, the daughter of Eileen (Wills) and the late Eugene Krug.
Karen was also preceded in death by her sister, Linda Smith; mother and father-in-law, Frank and Joan Sibis; and sister-in-law, Darla Sibis.
She is survived by her high school sweetheart and husband of 49 years, Daniel Sibis, whom she married Oct. 3, 1975, in Loretto. Karen is also survived by her only child, Daniel Sibis; siblings: Deborah (Donald) Beck, Judy (Tony) Biller, Barbara (Jeff) Lanzendorfer, Donald (Danielle) Krug, Edward (Laurie) Krug, Alan (Leslie) Krug and Jeffrey (Toni) Krug; brothers-in-law: Frank (Nancy), Robert and Tom Sibis; sister-in-law, Becky Maloskey; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Karen spent most of her career working closely with her husband managing the family business, Frank's Used Cars.
With a love of plants and nature, she spent most of her free time gardening and caring for her beautiful property, as well as decorating for all the holidays, and when possible, spending time at the beach with friends and family.
Karen impacted the lives of everyone she met and brought a smile to friends and family, including her son who credits her strong and relentless work ethic and guidance for his own success. She will be missed by all.
