Karen Anne Bedell, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on November 3, 2023, in her hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Born on May 22, 1951, in Milwaukee, Karen was a cherished member of her community and will be remembered for her caring nature, infectious laughter, and unwavering devotion to her family.


Karen attended high school in Milwaukee before embarking on a successful 42-year career with the US Bank Mortgage as an accountant. Her dedication and work ethic were admired by her colleagues and her contribution to the company will not be forgotten. Despite her professional commitments, Karen always prioritized her family and ensured they were at the heart of everything she did.


Karen was married to the love of her life, Bruce Bedell, and together they created a family that was the very epitome of love, respect, and unity. Karen was a devoted mother to her three loving children, John Quintanilla, Nancy Masta, and Theresa Bedell. Their respective spouses, Sandra Webster, Ronald Masta, and Paul Montemayor, were considered by Karen to be her own children and she loved them dearly.


Karen was a doting grandmother to Andrew Masta, Alicia Masta, Nathan Montemayor, and Nicholas Montemayor. She was also blessed with three great-granddaughters, Elisiana, Ameila, and Delilah, who brought immense joy to her life. Karen often said that her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her greatest blessings, and she cherished every moment spent with them.


Karen is also survived by her brothers Gary, Mark, Kenny, and Jr Losinski(Julie), and her sister, Sandy Simmons(Ben Dercks). Her siblings will remember Karen as a loving sister who was always there for them, offering support, advice, and, most importantly, her unwavering love.


Karen was known for her love of shopping and traveling, but her favorite pastime was spending time with her family and grandchildren. She created beautiful memories during family vacations, Sunday dinners, and spontaneous visits. Her home was always filled with laughter, love, and the aroma of her delicious cooking.


Karen fought a brave battle against lung cancer. Despite her illness, she remained positive and focused on enjoying every moment with her loved ones. Her strength, courage, and resilience were an inspiration to all who knew her.


Karen's passing leaves a void that can never be filled. Her love, warmth, and kindness will be missed by all who knew her. She leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication that will continue to live on through her family and the many lives she touched.


Karen Anne Bedell was a remarkable woman who touched the lives of many with her kindness and generosity. Her memory will forever be cherished and her legacy will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her. May her soul rest in eternal peace.
