Karen Lambrecht, age 68, of Bourbonnais passed away Saturday, May 7, 2022 at her home after a courageous battle against cancer. She was born April 11, 1954 in Chicago, the daughter of Walter & Helen (Hojnowski) Kosobucki. Karen had worked as a dental assistant for Dr. Martell’s office. She made many connections to her co-workers and patients over the years that she worked there, which came naturally with her outgoing, genuine personality! She enjoyed traveling to many different destinations, one of the most special places she visited was a yearly trip to Door County with her family. During her adventurous years she learned to snow ski and scuba dive which made for many fun memories. Texas was another special place for her to visit as her daughter and two of the four grandkids reside there. She adored her grandchildren and attended all of their events. She was their biggest cheerleader and they affectionately referred to her as Mar Mar. Karen was a parishioner of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Beaverville. Surviving are two sons, Kyle Lambrecht of Bourbonnais and Kip & Lisa Lambrecht of Minooka; one daughter, Lindsay & Darin MacCatherine of Midlothian, TX; two brothers, Walter & Norine Kosobucki of Birchdale, MN and Allen & Mickey Kosobucki of Lisle; four grandchildren, Grayson, Brynlee, Rori, and Colton; and many numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends. Visitation will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday, May 12, 2022 at Clancy-Gernon Funeral Home in Bourbonnais. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 13, 2022 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Beaverville. Rev. Mike Powell will celebrate the Mass. Interment will follow at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery in Justice. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Beaverville.
