Karen Gagnon, 67, Pound, died Sunday afternoon, November 1, 2020, following a short illness with cancer. Karen was born on May 20, 1953 to the late John and Joan (Janssen) Gagnon. Even though Karen was taken too soon, she lived an extraordinary life surrounded by people who adored her. She was a dedicated RN who was in her 45 ^th year of providing home care of mostly young people, becoming part of the family.
