Karen married her high school sweetheart, Tom DeGrazio, in April of 1960. They were happily married for 30 years when Tom tragically passed away in 1990. Karen believes her life's greatest accomplishment to be her daughter, Michele, her two grandchildren, April age 25, and Jonathan age 23, and her great grand daughter, Gianna who will be 6 years old in August. Karen's favorite pastimes are needlework, gardening, travel, and most of all being with her family! Karen lived in Chicago for 26 years, and after moved to Elmwood Park, Illinois. She has so many happy memories of her days at Kelvyn that Karen said it's hard to narrow down just one or two. She made many friends that she keeps in close contact with to this day. Her favorite class was Home Economics. (Ever eat anything those girls in cooking class made? Believe me it wasn't bad. I made eggs goldenrod in cooking class that I still "wow" everyone with to this day!) Karen's favorite teachers were Mrs. Macallini and Mrs. Nordman, neither of whom were Home Ed teachers. (Huh?) Karen graduated from Nixon elementary school. She is really looking forward to our 50th reunion and seeing everyone again. Karen proudly serves on our 50th reunion committee.
