Northport - On the morning of February 1, 2024, Karen Manzo passed away from natural causes while surrounded by family. Karen was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on August 15, 1943, and was a graduate of Hampden Academy in Hampden, Maine.
She married the love of her life, Andy Manzo, at age 19 and built a family with him in Bangor, Maine. Karen first met Andy when she was only 5 years old and the two enjoyed over 60 years of marriage. Karen was the proud Mother of two daughters, Marie Manzo and Teresa "Terry" Jamo. After her first career as a homemaker, she started her second career as a nurse. Her secondary education followed her daughter's graduation from Bangor High School. She and her youngest daughter, Terry, even attended Husson University at the same time. Karen then had a long career as a nurse at Eastern Maine Medical Center. Karen was a lifelong learner and was known for her strength, kindness, and compassion. She was also an accomplished artist and poet.
Karen was predeceased by her husband, Anthony Manzo; brother, Richard Levine; brother-in-law, Richard Manzo; and sister-in-law, June Levine. She is survived by her brothers, Don Levine and his wife, Patty, and Robert Levine; daughters, Marie Manzo and Teresa Jamo; grandchildren, Kristine Madore, Karen Ayer, Tyler Jamo, and Lexie Hoxie; as well as four great-grandchildren. She was a cherished wife, mother, and friend to all that knew her.
