Karen Wingett, 72, of Millis, MA passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 in South Easton, MA.

Born June 19, 1952, in Boston, MA, Karen grew up in Jacksonville, Florida after moving there as a child. She graduated from Wolfson High School and spent cherished summers with her grandparents in Quivett Neck, East Dennis, MA. Karen later settled on Cape Cod, earning a degree from Cape Cod Community College. She then moved to the Boston area, where she graduated from Boston University where she pursued an MBA. Her gift of gab and warm, engaging personality fueled a successful sales career with West Lynn Creamery, Cargill Industries, and Pepsico.

Karen traveled extensively and loved Europe. She hiked throughout the Swiss Alps, Austria and Germany and frequently visited St. Maarten. As an avid gardener, Karen could be found tending her flowers and vegetables during the summer. Karen Lyford Wingett was a bright spot on this earth, she loved animals and all children. She was caring, honest, funny and a beautiful human being.

Karen is survived by her son, Ellis; grandchildren, Niamh Bayliss, Elizabeth Joy, Margaret Clare, and Ellis Ray Jr.; sister, Kaye Sanders; brother Mitch Lyford (Sherry); nephew, Chris Sanders (Jenn), and their children; and niece, Michelle Lyford Binkowski (Matthew), and their children. She was predeceased by her parents, Kenneth and Virginia Lyford; grandparents, Dr. John Wingett and Carolyn Wingett; her aunt, Joy Wingett; and Kaye's husband, John.

In honor of her battle with Alzheimer's, her family hopes for a cure in her grandchildren's lifetime. Karen will be laid to rest in the Quivett Neck Cemetery in East Dennis, Ma on her beloved Cape Cod.

Rip,sounds like she lived a happy and full life.

I’m so sorry and saddened by this Karen and I used to hang out all the time on Saturdays we would go downtown on the bus to the movies and of course go to the photo booths and do silly pictures such great memories Karen was so much fun we were always laughing and having a great time. Karen RIP you are forever in my heart and will always remember all our fun times together

RIP,Karen.

I knew Karen all through high school. She was such a wonderful person and friend. I have often wondered what became of Karen. Reading the news about her life lets me know that she lead a beautiful life after high school and continued to be a gift to all who knew her. Rest in peace Karen you will be greatly missed by all. God Bless.

Karen will always be remember for her sweet and caring nature. From a stranger walking down the street to woodland creatures, she was always willing to lend a hand. She was taken from us years ago from Alzheimers but now she can rest in peace. I'm sure she is already hiking and taking in the view's from heaven. Thank you for being such a great "Grammy" to my children. RIP❤️
