Karen Camb

Born and raised in Kearny, New Jersey, Karen later moved to Union, where she attended grade school and high school. Union remained her home for many years before she recently relocated to upstate New York.

For more than 30 years, Karen proudly served as a crossing guard in Union. She was a familiar and comforting presence to generations of children, ensuring they made it safely to and from school each day. Karen genuinely adored the children she watched over, and that love was returned many times over by the countless families whose lives she touched. Her warm smile, caring nature, and unwavering dedication made her a beloved member of the community.

Karen found joy in life's simple pleasures. She treasured her trips to the Jersey Shore and looked forward to traveling to Florida, where she enjoyed relaxing along the beautiful beaches. Above all, she took great pride in caring for her family, especially spending time with and helping her mother whenever she was needed.

Karen was predeceased by her beloved father, Dennis Dougan, and her cherished son, Sean Camb.

She leaves behind her loving husband of 45 years, Alan Camb Sr.; her devoted sons, Michael Camb and Alan Camb Jr. and his wife, Nicole; her treasured grandson, Patrick; her mother, Myra Dougan; her brother, Dennis Dougan; her beloved nieces, Emily and Jerianna; as well as many extended family members and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.

Karen's kindness, compassion, and unwavering love for her family and community will never be forgotten. Though she has been taken far too soon, the countless lives she touched and the memories she created will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. May she rest in eternal peace.

Visitation will be held at McCracken Funeral Home, 1500 Morris Ave, Union, NJ 07083 on June 29, 2026, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
