Carmen Belen, 66, passed away on May 11, 2021. Beloved wife of Artin, mother of Simon and Jannette and dear sister of Renee and Adrian. She was born in Constanța, Romania and emigrated to the United States at the age of 18. She later married Artin and made her home in Elizabeth, NJ, where she lived for over forty years.
Carmen was a cherished wife, mother, sister, cousin, aunt and friend to many. Her loving nature, and exuberant personality led to many friends considering her their Tanti Carmen or their second mom. Carmen loved her Kukla, Kass, like a daughter and embraced her into her family. She took great pride in the accomplishments of her children and their service to their community.
Carmen loved music and could often be found singing to her favorite Elvis tunes. In her free time, she enjoyed watching crime and police dramas while sipping an espresso and playing with her beloved dogs Chop and Max.
She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
A visitation for Carmen will be held Monday, May 17, 2021 from 9AM to 10:30 AM at Krowicki McCracken Funeral Home, 2124 East Saint George Ave, Linden, NJ 07036, with a prayer service at the funeral home at 10AM. A funeral will follow at 11:30 AM, Rosedale Cemetery, E Linden Ave, Linden, NJ 07036.
