Karen P. Carvale

November 4, 1938 - March 26, 2026

Karen Patricia Carvale, 87, of Hamilton, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 at Sunrise Senior Living, Yardley, PA, with her loving family at her side.

Born in Trenton, NJ, she was a longtime area resident. A talented and dedicated hairdresser, she proudly owned and operated Tres Jolie Beauty Salon for more than 50 years, building lasting relationships with her clients who became like family.

From a young age, she possessed a natural creativity and artistic spirit, enjoying painting and drawing in her spare time. She found her greatest joy in being with her family, whether spending cherished days together in Beach Haven or sharing laughter and excitement on roller coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure and Dorney Park. Those moments meant everything to her.

Her faith was also an important part of her life, and attending the St. Jude Novenas at St. Michael’s Church brought her immense comfort and peace.

Predeceased by her father, James Martin McGuire; and mother, Kathryn (Duignan) Schimmel; she is survived by her loving daughters, Juditha Warren and her husband, Sean, and Tricia Palazzone and her husband, Joseph; her brother, Tim McGuire; grandchildren, Briana Rivera, A.J. Rivera  and his wife, Tanisha, Eddie Rivera and his wife, Leslie Rivera and Mario Palazzone; and 3 great grandchildren, Landon, Luna and Mia.

Visitation will be held Saturday, March 28, 2026 from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the Buklad-Merlino Yardville Memorial Home, 30 Yardville-Allentown Road, Yardville, NJ 08620.

A prayer service will begin at 4:00 p.m.
