Karen Loretta (White) Leone

Karen Loretta Leone, 63, of Keansburg, New Jersey, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on June 12, 2024, at Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank.  She was born Karen Loretta White on January 22, 1961, in Newark, where she grew up.  In 1975, when she was about 15 years old, Karen and her family moved to Keansburg.  Karen settled in Keansburg to raise her two beloved children, Jeanine and TJ.  Karen always enjoyed gardening and crafting, but most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her beloved family.  She was a kind, loving woman and a great friend.  She adored animals, especially her two dogs, Lucy and Lilly.  Above all else, Karen was an adoring and devoted mother and grandmother.  She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.

She was predeceased by her parents, Leroy Barry White and Norma Marion (Matay) White.  Karen is survived by her loving children, Jeanine Gaccione and her husband, Jared, of Brick, and TJ Leone and his fiancé, Faith Corcoran, of Keansburg, and her cherished grandchildren, RaeLynn, Everleigh, Wyatt, and Ledger.
