Karen L. Dufford of Cabot, passed away Sunday, May 9, 2021, at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh following a brief illness.
She was the daughter of Betty (Miller) Kobik of Cabot, and the late John Kobik Sr.
Karen lived most of her life in Cabot, and was a member of Pentecostals of Oakmont, where she was very active.
Karen was a hairstylist and worked at Hair Etc. by Denise and Co., for 30 years. She loved being a hair stylist and loved her customers.
She loved to fish with her husband, Ed, car shows, the outdoors and loved spending time with her mom.
Karen touched the hearts and lives of everyone she met. She was selfless, and thought about others before herself. She always made people laugh, and had a heart of gold. She was loved by many, and she had a special place in her heart for her family.
