Lynn Steiger Karaszewski

May 07, 2021

Lynn Steiger Karaszewski (“Lynnie”) passed away Thursday, May 7, 2021 at the age of 71 following a brief illness and Alzheimer's disease.

 

She was the beloved wife of 41 years to Jack F. Karaszewski, loving mother to Brian Karaszewski (Royal Oak, MI), Eric Karaszewski (Alpharetta), and step-mother to Jennie Peffer (Olney, Maryland). She was fortunate to have two daughter-in-law’s, Michele Karaszewski and Crissy Karaszewski. She was born in Cheektowaga, NY and resided for many years in Buffalo, NY where she worked for Buffalo Savings Bank, General Mills, and Baltimore Aircoil full-time before changing to part-time at Technology Student Association and Allstate insurance in order to raise a family. In retirement, she worked as a volunteer in the Emory Johns Creek hospital cancer center and at Northwood Elementary School. 

 

After leaving Buffalo in her 30’s, she and Jack lived in the Washington DC area for 14 years and Pittsburgh, PA for 3 years before moving to Alpharetta, GA where she resided for 25 years until her passing.

 

She is known affectionately as “Granny” to Luke (Maryland), Julia (Maryland), Jack (Royal Oak, MI), Parker (Royal Oak, MI), and Weston (Alpharetta).  She is the aunt to 2 nieces and 2 nephews. She was truly genuine by nature, had many close friends, and lived her life with dignity and grace.
