Mrs. Karen Lynn Armiger

August 27, 1956 - May 11, 2021

Karen Lynn Armiger, age 64 of New Windsor, passed on Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Born August 27, 1956, in Baltimore, MD she was the daughter of the late Melvin Amersbach and MaryJane VanWinkle Amersbach. She was the loving wife of Alan S. Armiger and caring mother to her twin boys, Noah J. Armiger and Scott A. Armiger. Karen enjoyed the little things in life. She loved being outdoors, cooking and gardening. Often she could be found on the back porch of her house quietly reading a book, only interrupting the silence to remark on the type of the bird that just flew onto her bird feeder. When not at home, she enjoyed sailing with her family where they spent many nights together staring up at the stars. Her true passions however were caring for her family and helping others. She made sure every holiday at the Armiger household was special, no matter how small. From hiding chocolate coins around the house on St. Patrick’s day to transforming their home into a wonderland at Christmas, she was always at her happiest when she was putting a smile on her family’s face. Karen was one of the lucky few whose career was also a work of love. She worked hard to receive her Bachelor's degree in early childhood education before ending her career as a pre-k teacher at Westminster Elementary School. She frequently remarked that her last class of kids was one of her favorites that she had ever taught. Her teaching helped shape many young lives, especially her twin boys who owe their success in life to the compassion and nurturing of their loving mother. Surviving in addition to her husband and twin sons are brothers Keith Amersbach and Wayne Amersbach and mother-in-law Mary Johann Armiger. She is also survived by nieces and nephews. Funeral services and interment will be private. Those desiring may make memorial donations to FeedingAmerica.org or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
