It is with heavy sadden hearts that the family of Karen Ann Gosselin announce her passing on October 21, 2016, at the age of 60 years. Karen is survived by her loving children Ron D’Onofrio (Jen), Bobby Joe Gosselin (German Mendoza), Norman Gosselin Jr. (Millie), and Suzanne Pedwell; her adoring grandchildren Nathan Mendoza (Haley Houda), Tatiana Mendoza, Alex Mendoza, Maria Mendoza, Sara Mendoza, Angel D’Onofrio, Carmella D’Onofrio, Nico D’Onofrio, Jessie Gosselin, Caleb, Amber, Manny, Dante, and Tori; and her adoring great grandchild Dallas Mendoza. Karen is also survived by her sister Linda Chiasson; her brothers Carmen D’Ononfrio and Douglas D’Onofrio; as well as many nieces and nephews. Karen was predeceased by her one true love, her husband Norman Gosselin Sr; her parents, Carmella and Carmen D’Onofrio, her brothers Gary and Nicholas D’Onofrio; and her brother-in-law Don Chiasson. Karen was a strong, fiery woman who loved everyone with such unconditional love. There was never a soul that went unfed, unhoused, or unloved. Karen’s family didn’t end with blood relations; she became a mother figure and friend to all who had the absolute pleasure of knowing her. She has left an incredible imprint on this earth that will never be filled. Karen, you were an example to us all, your kindness, selflessness, and love have made us all who we are today and we graciously thank you.
