Karen Keegan Obituary, Death – Karen Keegan, died Monday, January, 7, 2023 at home. Keegan is the daughter of Eugene F. “Chuck” Keegan and Leona B. “Sally” Richardson Keegan, who passed away. Sister of Patrick J. Keegan, who passed away, Mark P. (Mary Jean), Charles J. “C.J.”, Timothy J., Coleen M. “Susie,” Gary S., John G., and James J. (Lisa). Sister of Timothy J. Keegan. Aunt of Meghan Keegan, Liam Keegan, LaMar Keegan, Madeline Keegan, Aaron Keegan, Sean Keegan, and Kaitlyn Keegan, as well as Brody and Alexis Michaud. Eggplant, the Adirondacks, Ellen, and the National Geographic Channel were some of Karen’s favorite things.
She was a loving aunt and a daughter who put her family first. Karin maintained relationships with her numerous friends both in her immediate area and all around the United States by using various forms of social media. She never failed to find the time in each day to send out humorous texts or messages that offered words of encouragement. Karin had a strong desire to see the world and was always up for an exciting new experience.
She has worked as a nurse in the states of Maryland, Florida, Maine, and Hawaii, and she has also been to Ireland and the Caribbean. She enjoyed going on walks in the woods and watching birds. Her best moments were spent by the water, whether she was in Maine, Wildwood, New Jersey, on a beach in Rhode Island, Jamaica, or at Warner’s Lake. Her favorite things were watching the sunrise and sunset over the ocean and gazing at the many stars in the night sky. Karin was someone who, above all things, served as a caregiver and a comforter. At the Equinox Thanksgiving meal, she volunteered her services. She reached out and made friends with people living on the streets.
It was one of her favorite things to do to slip a guardian angel into the homes of grieving families. She took care of her father by living with him and watching over him while he was alone at night. She was the first person to rush to the aid of anyone who required it, and she didn’t think twice about leaving all she was doing to see a friend whose dad was sick in the hospital and sit with them for several hours. Her former coworkers frequently remark on how skilled a nurse she was.
Many families have spoken about how reassuring it was to have Karin around while one of their loved ones was ill or passing away. Throughout the course of her nursing career, she not only worked with patients in hospitals, but also with those who suffered from mental illness and developmental disabilities. She cherished her role as a visiting nurse, which allowed her to spend additional time with her patients in the comfort of their own homes. In addition to that, she found great joy in interacting with the elderly residents of the Albany County Nursing Home.
