Karen Campo Smith

Karen Campo Smith, daughter of Donald and Marlene Campo, departed this world on Monday, August 26, 2019. In addition to her parents, she is also survived by her beloved husband of forty years, Michael, her three daughters, Sabrina Esker, Ashley Assevado, and Meagan Sciambra, her three sons-in-law, Sean, Cory, and Sal, and her sister, Wanda Kridler. Also left to cherish her memory are her six grandchildren, Mikayla, Donovan, Emmy, Brennan, Ella, and Vivian, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, and friends. She was preceded in death by her older sister, Donna Campo Gonzales.

Karen was a lifelong resident of Saint Bernard Parish and a graduate of PGT Beauregard High School. She married her high school sweetheart at the young age of 17. Two years later, they began their adventure into parenthood, and together, they built a life that was centered around love, laughter, and family.

Karen enjoyed traveling with her family, going on casino trips with her mother, her sister, and her daughters, and playing her weekly card games with her friends. Most of all, she enjoyed spoiling her six grandchildren with spontaneous treats, loving gestures, and family sleepovers. She was the daughter, wife, sister, mother, and grandmother that every one wishes for, and her legacy will live on through the memories and traditions that she shared during her time here.

On Saturday, August 31, 2019, a visitation will be held at ST. BERNARD MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 701 W. Virtue Street, in Chalmette, from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM. A mass will be held in Karen’s honor at 1:00 PM. She will be laid to rest in St. Bernard Catholic Cemetery, in St. Bernard.
