Karen M Fellner

April 30, 1947 – December 28, 2025

Karen Maurine Fellner, age 78, of Ravenna, Ohio, went home to be with her Lord on December 28, 2025. A woman of deep faith, Karen lived her life with the singular goal of entering the Kingdom of Heaven, a peace she has now surely found.

Born on April 30, 1947, in Cleveland, Ohio, to the late Edgar and Maurine Jeffries, Karen was a woman who never met a stranger. Known for her "gift of gab" and a laugh that could brighten the darkest day, she was a constant source of joy and conversation for everyone who knew her.

Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Karen was known to many as the "Tupperware Lady." She took immense pride in her work, hosting countless parties and earning numerous pins for her sales achievements. Beyond her entrepreneurial spirit, she was a woman of many talents: an avid bowler who spent years competing in local leagues, and a fledgling poet and writer. She took great pride in seeing her words in print, including a piece published in Reader’s Digest.

Above all, Karen’s heart belonged to her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who found her greatest purpose in the lives of those she loved. Her legacy of laughter and kindness will be carried on by those she leaves behind.

Karen was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert J. Fellner; her parents, Edgar and Maurine Jeffries; and her brothers, Michael and Doug Jeffries.

She is survived by her son, Robert E. Fellner, and daughter-in-law Lisa M. Intrieri-Fellner; her cherished grandchildren, Jackson N. Fellner and Katie J. Fellner; and her sisters, Viki Pigeon, Barbara Heintz, and sisters-in-law Pat Jeffries and Kae Eun Jeffries. She will be deeply missed by a wide circle of friends and extended family.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to her GoFundMe page to help defray funeral expenses during this difficult time. https://gofund.me/93696f1a1
