Life story
Karen Campo Smith, daughter of Donald and Marlene Campo, departed this world on Monday, August 26, 2019. In addition to her parents, she is also survived by her beloved husband of forty years, Michael, her three daughters, Sabrina Esker, Ashley Assevado, and Meagan Sciambra, her three sons-in-law, Sean, Cory, and Sal, and her sister, Wanda Kridler. Also left to cherish her memory are her six grandchildren, Mikayla, Donovan, Emmy, Brennan, Ella, and Vivian, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, and friends. She was preceded in death by her older sister, Donna Campo Gonzales.
Karen was a lifelong resident of Saint Bernard Parish and a graduate of PGT Beauregard High School. She married her high school sweetheart at the young age of 17. Two years later, they began their adventure into parenthood, and together, they built a life that was centered around love, laughter, and family.
Karen enjoyed traveling with her family, going on casino trips with her mother, her sister, and her daughters, and playing her weekly card games with her friends. Most of all, she enjoyed spoiling her six grandchildren with spontaneous treats, loving gestures, and family sleepovers. She was the daughter, wife, sister, mother, and grandmother that every one wishes for, and her legacy will live on through the memories and traditions that she shared during her time here.

Mom, I can’t believe it’s been 5 years without you. We miss you so much. Within these 5 years, we’ve endured many losses. The holidays aren’t the same. Life isn’t the same. The kids have grown, and are making us so proud. I promise to keep the cousin sleepover tradition going for as long as they’ll let me. I love you, Mom.

It’s been 5 years
I can’t believe it’s been five years since the last time I saw you. All the plans we had after I retired went away and it hurts so much. Nothing is the same without you. I miss you so much since the day you left us. There are times when I break down in tears because you are not physically here seeing the grand kids grow up. But I know you are watching over us keeping them and the rest of us safe. I forever love you.
