Karen Sue
Baillargeon
 Harrisville and Hammond NY- Karen Sue
Baillargeon, 73, beloved mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend was
taken home to the Lord suddenly on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
Karen was born in
Carthage, New York, to the late Raymond and Madeline (Conklin) Trombley,
where she lived for many years until she moved to Harrisville NY in 1976,
and to Redwood NY in 2018. In 1970
she married Ronald C. Baillargeon on October 16th, having three
children, Dewayne, Parrish and Brandy Baillargeon. She returned, graduating high school in
1979 at Harrisville Central School where she received her diploma and
certification as a cosmetologist, starting her own beauty shop which she
conducted business from her home for more than 20 years. Later in life she changed careers,
becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant, working for Carthage
Hospital/Nursing Home and an apartment manager for Lowville Heights. Most recently she would work weekends
with her husband cleaning cabins on Oak Point, on the St. Lawrence
River. She took great pride in all
the work she would do and was always taking care of others.
To Karen, family
was everything. She would give all
of herself to be the best wife, mother and grandmother she could be. She spent much time caring for her son
Parrish and grandson Michael, before their passing this summer. She truly was an angel in many ways here
on earth, so it was not a surprise that she was needed in heaven. While she devoted her life to caring for
her loved ones, she never fell short of showing kindness and compassion to
everyone around her. Karen was also
a cancer survivor in remission and served as an inspiration and comfort to
others fighting similar battles.
Whether a friend or stranger, she was always willing to help and
give whatever she could. To those
that knew her she was a source of comfort, laughter and unconditional love.
Her presence will be forever missed, but her spirit will live on in the
countless lives she touched and never be forgotten.
She enjoyed many
different things, but spending time with family and friends was her
passion. When she wasn’t spending
time with them, she was crocheting, sewing and taking road trips or fishing
on the riverbanks with her husband and children. She also loved to go to the beach or just
sit in the sun.
Karen is survived by her husband Ronald Baillargeon, son
Dewayne Baillargeon (Kerri) and daughter Brandy Baillargeon-Grant (Thomas
Grant), several grandchildren, sisters, brothers, cousins, nieces and
nephews. In addition to her parents,
she was predeceased by her son, Parrish Baillargeon, and her grandson,
Michael Webster.
Karen’s funeral
services will be held on Friday, November 7th, 2025, beginning
with calling hours from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at Scanlon Funeral Home,
14187 State St., Harrisville, followed by a 1:30 p.m. Mass of Christian
Burial from St. Francis Solanus Church in Harrisville. Interment will
