Karin E. (Farrell) of Reading passed away on Thursday, November 14, 2024. She was 58 years of age.

Karin loved her family above all things and provided all of them with support, understanding, and unconditional love. Her kindness not only applied to her family and friends but also to perfect strangers. She built the life she dreamed of alongside her husband and children and loved every moment spent with them. Karin had an artistic soul, which she discovered later in life through painting, sculpting, woodworking, knitting and crocheting. She shared her love for the arts with her children, nieces, and nephews and could always be counted on for a last-minute school art project or craft session. 

Karin is the beloved wife of Michael Bourque. She is the cherished mother of Michael Bourque, Jeremy Bourque and Zachary Bourque and his fiancé Serina Reyes. She is the loving daughter of Dennis and Ellen (Trottier) Farrell. Dear sister of Brian and Lynda Farrell, Denise and Stephen Flannery and Doreen Farrell. Devoted aunt of Stephen Flannery, Kasey Dunn and her husband Brian, Dennis Farrell, Jane LaMoore and her husband Josh, Patrick Farrell and Ellie Farrell and great aunt of Cora and Nolan Dunn.
