Karla R. Passler

October 1, 1968 — November 1, 2024

WESTBOROUGH / HOPKINTON

Karla R. Passler, 56, of Hopkinton, formerly of Westborough, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 1, 2024, at home.

Born in Worcester, she is the daughter of Richard D. and Frances A. (Pinkus) Passler of Westborough. She attended Westborough Schools and was a graduate of the Worcester Area Occupational Training Center and attended a computer program at Assabet Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School.

Karla was formerly employed at Alexander, Aronson and Finning CPA firm and at Central One Federal Credit Union in Shrewsbury.

Karla was very talented. She enjoyed photography, dancing, reading, watching “Days of Our Lives,” playing the piano and listening to music, especially country. She loved taking beautiful pictures of the foliage and flowers, and she even had a calendar published with her pictures of nature. At Christmas time, Karla would play the piano for family sing-a-longs.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by one brother, Gregory S. Passler and his wife Heidi LaFleche, of Watertown, one sister, Christine E. Passler and her husband George J. Hensel, III of Grafton, two nieces, Addison L. Hensel and Shelby Q. Hensel and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

She was predeceased by two brothers, SGT 1st Class Eric B. Passler and Matthew E. Passler.

Her funeral service will be held on Friday, November 8, at 11:00 A.M. in the First United Methodist Church, 120 West Main St., Westborough. The burial in Notre Dame Cemetery, Worcester will be private.

Calling hours at the Pickering & Son Westborough Funeral Home, 62 West Main St., Westborough, are Thursday, November 7, from 5 to 7 P.M.

The family’s deepest thanks go the Amego staff for their loving and personal care at the group home where Karla lived for many years. Their care went far beyond what might be expected in a group home setting.  We are also indebted to Faith and Family Hospice for their kindness and personal services to both Karla and our family.

In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to AMEGO, Inc., 33 Perry Ave., Attleborough, MA 02703 or to Faith and Family Hospice, 420 Lakeside Ave., Marlborough, MA 01752
