Karen Carletta

Karen A. Carletta, age 68, of the Town of Floyd, passed away peacefully at home with her family by her side on October 13, 2025.

She was born July 1, 1957, in Rome to the late Bruce and Shirley Clark Lyman and educated in the Westmoreland schools. Karen was united in marriage to Frank Carletta on July 23, 1988.

Karen was an avid gardener. Her backyard gardens reflected her love of nature and birds, in particular hummingbirds. She also enjoyed camping, often spending weekends with family and friends at Stysh's Brown Barn Campgrounds. As a seamstress, Karen shared her talent by lovingly making quilts for her family and friends to enjoy. She also had a lifelong interest in crafting; whether it was quilling, felting, cross stitch or painting, her work was always beautiful. She also enjoyed trying new recipes to enhance her cooking. In her retirement, she enjoyed traveling and spending time with her family.
