Karen Ann Tartaglia

LATHAM - Karen Ann Tartaglia, 66, passed away on Friday, April 12, 2024 in the company of her loving son Nicholas Tartaglia.

Karen was born on March 27, 1958 in Albany and was the daughter of the late Frances (Hacker) and Steven Plonka. Karen worked for the Department of Labor in Albany until the age of 55, retiring in 2013. She made many friends throughout the years and heavily devoted her life to Christ later on in her journey. Her strong faith guided her to become a wonderful woman and mother. Karen's compassion was clear to everyone that met her, and her love will always live on in those that had the pleasure to spend time with her.

In addition to her loving son, Karen is survived by her brother, Michael Plonka and his family, and several cousins.

The Tartaglia and Plonka family would like to thank the staff at Samaritan Hospital for their care.
