Karen Linnette Cellitti, 74, passed away peacefully on October 3, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.
Karen was a hardworking, kind, and loving woman who devoted so much of herself to the people she loved. She was always willing to help her family whenever she could, and she had a special way of bringing both kindness and a little sass to everything she did. Her family was the most important part of her life.
Karen cherished her grandchildren and great-grandchildren more than words can express. She took great joy in watching her family grow and loved every moment she could share with them.
She is survived by her daughter, Amanda Gustafson, and Amanda's husband, Aaron; her son, Aaron J. Gustafson, his partner, Savanna, and their child, Cristian; and her son, Ashton Gustafson.
She is also survived by her son, Vincent Cellitti, and his children, Jamie Schulze and his children, Oliver and Alice, Cameron Cellitti, and Lucas Cellitti; and her son, Ryan Zahn, his partner, Brittany, and their children, Reed and Giovanni.
Karen leaves behind a family who will forever carry her love, her strength, her kindness, and her unforgettable spirit in their hearts. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered every day.
A private celebration of Karen’s life will be held later in October with family.
