Karen Ann Beauchamps Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Karen Ann Beauchamps, 49, of Trenton, passed into God’s loving embrace on Saturday, February 16, 2019, one day shy of her 50th birthday. Born in Trenton, NJ, Karen was a lifelong Ewing Township resident who attended Ewing public schools. Upon graduating from Ewing High School she moved to Florida, for a time, in pursuit of a music career. She later moved to Boston Massachusetts where she attended the University of Massachusetts in Boston. After college, she moved back to New Jersey, where Karen worked as a Diabetic Technician at Novo Nordisk Pharmaceutical Company in Plainsboro, NJ for many years, until she left due to illness. Karen had an affinity for music. It was her true passion! Karen was fearless in pursuit of her passion, but her singing and acting career was derailed by illness. Despite that, she continued to sing locally and in the church choir. She felt most truly in her element when she was singing for the Lord. Despite her illness, and many physical challenges, she never stopped singing and lifting up the congregation with her beautiful voice. Karen began her singing career in grade school at Parkway, in middle school at Antheil and Fisher, then later in the Ewing High School in various school choirs. While still in High School, she pursued a modeling acting, and singing career. She also sang with the “Discipulos de Jesus” prayer group youth choir, and later transitioned to into the “St. Mary’s Cathedral Choir” singing under the direction of Gerald Schroth. Her most current singing endeavor was at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church choir, “Canticos Celestes” in Trenton, NJ where she and her partner in life, Jose Cardenas, and the choir, made the most beautiful music together. Karen is predeceased by her older siblings Enid Ann and Michael Beauchamps. Left to cherish her wonderful memory and musical legacy are her loving parents, Deacon José and Aida L.(Albarran) Beauchamps, caring siblings; Irvin Beauchamps, Yvette C. (Brian) Cimino, Madeline G. Beauchamps, Lorraine (Scott) Stolberg, Daisy Beauchamps, and José Beauchamps, Jr., and her companion of many years, Jose Cardenas. She is also leaving behind many nieces and nephews, Candice T.
