Karen Ann Neves, born on November 4, 1966, in Stoughton, MA, passed away on May 12, 2026. Karen was a beacon of strength and courage, radiating love and kindness to all around her. As Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Karen was the epitome of this sentiment, touching hearts and enriching lives with her unwavering spirit.

Karen, a brave woman, despite being medically disabled, never let her health define her. Her resilience was inspiring, the embodiment of Helen Keller's words, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." Karen lived these words every day, her strength a testament to her courage and fortitude. She was a loving wife to Scott Neves and a doting mother to her children, Jolene Deree and Gene Deree Jr.. Her love extended to her granddaughters, Payton and Penelope, who were the apples of her eye. Karen's love was boundless, her heart, a sanctuary of warmth and care for her loved ones.

Karen is preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Maryland Maraglia. Their love and teachings molded Karen into the remarkable woman she was. Her life was a vivid tapestry of beautiful moments, unforgettable memories, and heartfelt connections. Her legacy of love, courage, and resilience continues to live on in the hearts of those she left behind. As William Penn once said, "Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still." Karen's spirit continues to live on in the hearts and memories of her loved ones.
