Karen was born July 25, 1952 in Watertown, NY to Richard & Beryl (Petrie) Gibson. She graduated as salutatorian from Hammond Central School in 1970 and wed Jim Snyder later that year. During his military service they resided in Germany, an experience Karen always treasured. Upon returning to NY, she settled in Pulaski, where she spent 40 years as a homemaker and a devoted mother. Those years included regular visits to Chippewa, where she loved the river, and cherished gatherings with family and friends. Karen enjoyed swimming, reading, singing, and cooking.
