Karen Louise Young, age 68, of Montclair, NJ passed away on April 14, 2016 at Mountainside Hospital in Glen Ridge, NJ. Montclair, NJ 07042. Karen was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico to Jean and Eleanor Piatt in 1947. She graduated from Santa Fe High School in 1965 and attended Eastern New Mexico University. In 1968 she married her beloved husband Steve in Santa Fe and a year later they moved to the Boston, Massachusetts area where their son Oliver was later born. They lived there until 1995 when they moved to Montclair. Despite the many medical challenges Karen faced over the years she had a wonderful love of nature and animals, especially birds and elephants. She also became an ardent Yankees fan while maintaining her loyalty to the New England Patriots. Everyone who knew her loved her for her kindness, caring and friendly nature. She is survived by her husband Steve in Montclair, NJ, her son Oliver in Bloomfield, NJ, her brother Lloyd Piatt in Albuquerque, NM and her sister Pamela Stuck in Rio Rancho, NM.
