Please keep the family of Karen Sue Kisner (Lemro) in your hearts and prayers. Karen, age 68, was a beloved daughter, mother and grandmother. She passed away peacefully in her sleep at Oakmont Center for Nursing on April 11, 2020 after an 18-year battle with a neurological illness. Karen, daughter of Irene V. Price Lemro and the late Joseph Lemro, was born on Christmas Day 1951 in Uniontown, PA. She derived her middle name from the late Sue Montgomery, wife of the late Dr. Mark Montgomery, who missed his wife's Christmas dinner to deliver Karen.
Karen lived in Morgantown, WV, with Gary W. Kisner, whom she married on May 29, 1971, before settling in Haydentown, Fayette County, PA. Karen attained an Associate Degree from Penn State University. She enjoyed real estate and served as both a homemaker and property manager. Karen's interests and hobbies included swimming, shopping, reading historical novels, watching westerns, playing word games, cheering on her son's baseball teams, and following her daughter's legal career.
Karen is survived by her mother, Irene Lemro, a resident of Beechwood Court at LaFayette Manor in Uniontown, PA; her children, daughter Kimberly J. Kisner of Pittsburgh, PA, and her son, Wesley L. Kisner, of Haydentown and Pittsburgh, PA, his wife Crystal L. Kisner, and their one-year-old son Kayden Joseph Kisner. She is also survived by two aunts, Naomi Burd, of Uniontown, PA and Camilla Price, of Twinsburg, Ohio, and more than a dozen cousins from the Price and Lemro families.
