It is with deep sorrow for the passing of our Mother, Sister and Cousin. Karin was born in Nuernberg Germany, and after the War came to America at the age of 11 with her Mother and Sister. She learned English in 3 weeks and adjusted well to her new Country.
Karin attended Sacred Heart Academy in Rochester, New York. She became an Airline Stewardess for Pan American World Airways and flew for 25 years. When the Company went bankrupt, she was on their last flight in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil when it was all over upon their return to JFK. She loved flying around the World from one Continent to another. Karin spoke several languages and was making the announcements for passengers in four different ones.
She was a member of Saint Franics of Assisi Catholic Church in Allentown, and was a faith-filled strong believer in God and Our Blessed Mother. She led a Rosary group twice every week for 30 years at the Chapel of Saint Francis of Assisi; one for families, and one for our Country.
Karin came from a musical family where everyone sang together and played instruments. She played piano, accordeon and guitar. Singing was her joy, being the sunshine of her family.
Karin will be greatly missed by Jan Christian Wahlstrom, Hildegard K. Janssen, Christiane Selvini, Petra Kierner and Family, Edith Zimmerman and Family and the de Jong Family.
Her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. Fr. Richard C. Brensinger on Friday October 24, 2025 at 11:00 am at Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church 11th and Washington Streets Allentown, PA 18102 where visitation with family and friends will begin at 10:00 am. The Homilist for her Mass will be Rev. Fr. Martin F. Kern.
Interment will follow in Resurrection Cemetery Upper Macungie Township.
For those who wish to honor Karin with a memorial contribution, her family suggests a donation to Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church 1046 West Cedar Street Allentown, Pennsylvania 18102.
The Gilbert Funeral Home of Whitehall
is honored to handle her arrangements
