Karen A. Brandow, of Hubbard Road, passed away on Friday, July 26, 2024 at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown, surrounded by her family.
Karen was born in Cobleskill on February 21, 1957 to Harold and Arline (Cater) Guest. She graduated from Middleburgh Central School and furthered her education with an Associate in accounting from Hudson Valley Community College. Karen retired from GSK after many years of service as an accounting manager. After retirement, she devoted herself to her grandchildren. Karen’s greatest accomplishment in life was being called "Nana.”
Karen was known for dedication and love for her ever-growing family, including her dogs. In her younger years she enjoyed crocheting, tending to her plants, and sunbathing while floating in the pool. She was an avid reader and enjoyed keeping up to date with friends and family on social media.
Karen is survived by her loving husband, Mike Brandow after many decades of marriage. He was her best friend through life and the one she loved to drive crazy and pester the most.
Karen is also survived by her children: Jennifer (Dave) Wood, Michelle (Brian) Brandow and Travis (Rachel) Brandow; her grandchildren: Paige and John Stevens, Derrick, Brooke and Mason Brandow; her father: Harold N. Guest Jr.; her siblings: Harold (Linda) Guest III, David (Andrea) Guest, Diana (Roger) Parent, Wally Guest, Donald Guest (Jasmine Shafer) and many nieces and nephews.
