Karen Marie Ulwick
Devout Catholic, Devoted to Her Family
Karen Marie (Daniels) Ulwick of East Boston passed away on November 30.
Karen was a devout catholic. She not only went to church on Sundays, but attended mass throughout the week. She thoroughly enjoyed the Columbus Day parade that would go down her street every year and would sit outside with family and friends and enjoy the festivities and just have fun and laugh.
She loved to walk and you could find her walking up and down Bennington Street going to Dunkin’ Donuts or taking a ride to Revere Beach and walking the beach for fresh air and exercise or simply at her favorite Chinese food restaurant enjoying lunch.
She loved lunches with the family, especially on her birthdays. She enjoyed the holidays surrounded by grandkids and just generally being around family. Her favorite thing to do on Thanksgiving was as her husband and son were carving the turkey, she would come into the kitchen and get the best part of the turkey skin before it went out to be served. Which we always knew was going to happen every year and looked forward to it.
Karen was an amazing person. She was a lovely woman devoted to her family. She was respected and well liked by all who came across her path.
The loving daughter of the late Charles and Georgianna (Roberts) Daniels, she was the beloved wife of Donald C. Ulwick, devoted mother of Donald and his wife, Lisa Ulwick and Jennifer Ulwick and cherished sister of Mary Beth Wallett and Charles Daniels and adored grandmother of Donald, Aidan, Addison and Maxwell.
