Karen Marie Lape White, 63, of Cape Coral, Florida was unexpectedly taken by God at her home on October 8, 2011. A 1965 graduate of Somerset High School in Somerset, Pennsylvania, Karen became a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist who loved her job, spending time with her family, and her pets. Her loving parents, Ralph and Elizabeth “Betty” Lape, preceded her in death. She is survived by her children: Tara Elizabeth Crumpton (Marc), Bradley Matthew White, and grandchildren Blake Patrick and Taylor AnnMarie Crumpton. Karen was a wonderful mother, grandmother and friend. She will forever live on in our fond memories, hearts, and prayers. The family is planning a private celebration of her life at Fort Myers Beach, Florida at a date yet to be determined. Family is asking in lieu of flowers that a charitable contribution be made to either the Gulf Coast Humane Society, 2010 Arcadia Street, Fort Myers, Florida, 33916, or The Humane Society of Somerset County, 204 Whitetail Road, Somerset, Pennsylvania in recognition of Karen’s amazing life. Arrangements under the direction of Coral Ridge Funeral Home & Cemetery, Cape Coral, FL.
