Obituary of Karen Graziano

Karen L. Sharp Graziano, of Farmingdale, became a "Whosoever" on Thursday, April 5, 2012. A life long resident of New Jersey, Karen was known as "G" to those that knew and loved her. She was a "Spitfire" with an infectious smile and affectionately referred to her daughters as, "Her three rabbits." She loved dancing, crafts, artwork, Lipton Tea, and most of all her family. She was predeceased by her oldest daughter, Dianna Lynn Graziano Maltese, who lost her battle with cancer earlier this year. Karen is survived by the love of her life, for forty years, Arthur Smith, who she lovingly called, "My Artie," two daughters, Ann Marie Blackburn and her husband Steve of NV and Annette "Sugar" Morey and her husband Phil of Manchester; her son-in-law, Vincent Maltese of ME; and seven grandchildren that she adored, Hope, Patrick, Haley, Taylor, Daniel, Erin, and Tara. Cremation will be held privately. As an expression of sympathy, donations made in her memory to Saint Jude Children's Hospital would be appreciated.
