mourning the loss of karen tilkens

Penn Township Mourns the Loss of Parks and Recreation Chairman Karen Tilkens.

It is with profound sadness that Penn Township announces the passing of our Parks and Recreation Board Chairman, Karen Tilkens.

Karen was a dedicated public servant, a passionate advocate for our local parks, and a cherished friend to many in our community. Through her leadership, the Parks and Recreation Board successfully championed spaces and programs that brought our residents closer together. Karen’s tireless volunteer work embodied the true spirit of community service.

Our hearts go out to Karen’s family and loved ones during this time. Karen’s impact on Penn Township cannot be understated, and she will be deeply missed by all of us who had the privilege of working alongside her.

Funeral/Memorial details will be shared as they become available, in accordance with the family’s wishes.
