Karen C. Galdony, 81, passed away in her Center Township home on November 26th, 2024. She was born in Sewickley, a daughter of the late Peter Michael Midzianowsky and Christine Midzianowsky Papinchak. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Phyllis Schroeder, her sister, Patricia McBride, and her brother, Pete Midzianowsky.

She is survived by her two daughters, Chris (Mike) Bernard and Candy Brooks, a son-in-law, Dave (Trish) Schroeder, and her sister, Nadine (Brian) Safran.

She will also be missed by many nieces, nephews and her great niece, Paisliegh.

Karen’s life was one of dedication and service, shown through her 39-year tenure as a clerk for the Center Township Water Authority. After retiring, she found joy in serving the youngest members of the community at her granddaughter’s day care center, Abbys Tiny Sprouts. There she became known as Mimi not only to her grandkids but to the little ones where she prepared lunches.

Karen’s zest for life was evident in her many interests. She was an avid bingo player and had a love for flower gardening. Karen also had a passion for puzzles and was known among friends for her enjoyment of a good beer.

Perhaps nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her grandchildren that she leaves behind many cherished memories. They are: Carley Schroeder, Lucas Bernard, Austin Schroeder (Katelyn), Abby Bernard, Sidney Brooks, and Brayden Brooks.

Karen’s culinary interests included making pierogis for her family during the holidays. This tradition was one of the many ways she expressed her love and brought her family together.

All services will be private, the family has requested flowers be omitted and any memorial contributions be directed to St Jude’s Children’s Hospital or given to the family.

Simpson Funeral and Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca is in care of arrangements.
