Karen Clinkscale

January 4, 1960 — January 20, 2025

Karen Clinkscale was born on January 4, 1960, in Boston, Massachusetts, to Albert Chisholm and Florence Cardoza. She was one of six siblings and lived a life full of love, compassion, and dedication to others.

Karen dedicated her career to caring for those in need. Karen began her career as a Certified Nurse Assistant, tending to critically ill patients in Massachusetts with unwavering kindness and devotion. In the early 2000s, she expanded her service by transporting children with disabilities to and from school, ensuring their safety and well-being. Karen's passion for caregiving was evident in every role she took on. She always went above and beyond to provide comfort and support, forming deep bonds not only with her patients but also with their families.

Karen's presence was truly a light in every room she entered. Karen was known for her infectious joy and her ability to turn gatherings into a celebration. She had a deep love for children and cherished her family above all. No matter the circumstances, Karen showed up when needed. If transportation were an issue, she would find a way, even if it meant arriving in a limo. So, when you saw the limo pull up, you knew it was time to paint the town red.

Karen was previously married to the late William Clinkscale. She is lovingly remembered by her siblings, Alberta McPherson, George Cardoza, Theresa Smith, Leonard Cardoza, and Jacob Cardoza, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of cherished friends.
