Karen Ann Silbereisen

Karen Ann Silbereisen, 43, of East New Market, Maryland, passed away on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

Born December 26, 1982, Karen was the daughter of Garry “Chops” Silbereisen and the late Dara (Everett) Gauen.

Karen will be remembered for her caring heart, quick wit, wonderful sense of humor, and beautiful smile. She had a gift for making others laugh and was always there to help anyone in need. Above all, Karen loved her children, who were her greatest pride and joy.

Karen enjoyed playing softball in high school and later developed an interest in photography. Music was especially important to her and was often how she expressed her feelings. Those who knew her well could tell what kind of mood she was in simply by the music she played.

Karen is survived by her beloved children, Michael “Alex” Fuller and Kayley Fuller; her father and stepmother, Garry “Chops” Silbereisen and Tina Johnston; her stepfather, Kenneth Gauen; her siblings, Andrew Silbereisen (Sarah Miller), Courtney Hults (Stephanie Mueller), and Crystal Gauen (Scott Biel); her nieces and nephews, Dylan White, Austin Silbereisen, Sasha Biel, Emmett Hults, and Duke Biel; and her great-niece, Lyla White.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Dara Gauen, and her great-niece, Gracyn White.

Karen’s laughter, kindness, and love for her family will always be remembered.

A celebration of Karen’s life will be held at the Milford Elks Lodge, 18951 Elks Lodge Road, Milford, DE, on Saturday November 21st at 12PM, with visitation starting at 11AM.
