Shaderowfsky

Karen M. Shaderowfsky, 60, of Russell, PA, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, November 10th, 2026, at her residence in Russell, PA.

She was born August 12th, 1966 in Port Allegany, PA, the daughter of Mary E. Pinchock and Bernard Carpenter.

On July 18th, 2013, she married Paul D. Shaderowfsky, who survives. Karen and Paul had a wonderful 13 years of marriage, and both felt they had found their soulmate. They enjoyed spending time at home together, with their children and their grandson, and their many pets (most rescues).

Karen found joy in simple things. She was happiest in her garden, surrounded by her animals, or settled in with a puzzle. She loved being with her family, her friends, and taking care of people. Above all, she treasured being a grandmother. Her two year old grandson, Roman, was the light of her life, and the time they spent together was her greatest joy.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by her daughter Alissa Elliott and her grandson Roman Elliott of Olean, NY, two stepchildren: Jonathan Shaderowfsky and Lila Shaderowfsky, her mother: Mary E. Pinchock of Port Allegany, PA, two brothers: Paul Carpenter of Roulette, PA, and Jeff Pinchock of Port Allegany, PA, and several nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her father Bernard Carpenter and brother Rick Carpenter.

Karen will be deeply missed by her family and friends, and remembered for the love she gave so freely.

Visitation will be held Saturday, November 21st, 2026, from 10-11AM with Memorial services beginning at 11AM at Donald E. Lewis Funeral Home Inc., 304 East Street Warren, PA, 16365. Online condolences may be made by visiting www.lewisfuneralhomeinc.com., or on the funeral home Facebook page.
