We're often told the goal of grief is to recover, to get over what happened. To move on. But Grief isn't about getting over our loved one or the terrible things that happened in our lives. The goal is gentler, and much more human. It's learning over time to remember with more love than pain. We at CARE Funeral & Cremation want you to know we are not only here for you during your loss but we are still here for you the weeks, months and years after your loss.

Karen Sue Mattern, born on October 5, 1941, in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, the daughter of the late Owen and Roberta Glover, passed away peacefully at her residence on February 12, 2026, at the age of 84. She lived in the area for over 65 years, spending her days making a beautiful life for her family. She was a devoted homemaker who considered her most important role to be raising her cherished children and caring for her family.

Karen devoted her life to raising her large family, always placing their needs ahead of her own. Her days were filled with the constant motion of four energetic boys and one spirited daughter, making her home a place of joyful chaos and loving commotion. There were muddy shoes by the door, laughter, and at times, arguments echoed throughout, and a kitchen table that rarely sat empty. Though the house was often hectic, it was also the heart of warmth, guidance, and steady love. Karen somehow managed the noise, the schedules, the scraped knees, and the endless loads of laundry with grace, creating a home where each child felt supported, encouraged, and deeply cherished.

Karen shared 64 beautiful years of marriage to her beloved husband, Donald Mattern, beginning when they wed on February 13, 1960, until his passing in 2024. Her life was deeply enriched by their enduring partnership and the family they built together. She was also preceded by her siblings: Joan Casuccio, Nancy Reno, and Robert Glover

She is survived by her loving children: Donald Lee (Cyndy) Mattern of Hermitage, PA; Robert Scott Mattern of East Liverpool; Roberta "Bobbie" Mattern (Marc) Holt of Wellsville; Edward Allen (Denitra) Mattern of East Liverpool; and Brian Charles (Marian) Mattern of Austintown. Karen's legacy continues through her treasured grandchildren: Allison, Malia, Tyler, Bobbie, Jacob, Katie, Seth (Mara), Ross (Jasmine), Spencer, Isaac, Dylan, Bella, Lily, and Nova. She also leaves behind her adored great-grandchildren: Dominique, Karlee, Ryan, Ava, and Ella. She is also survived by her siblings: Sharon "Kathy" Parks, Danny Glover, and Tom Glover, as well as numerous nieces and nephews

The MacLean Chapel of Care Funeral & Cremation have been entrusted with Karen’s arrangements.

💌 Sending Love & Light — Valentine’s Day Update 💌

Due to inclement weather and scheduling conflicts with services being held at the funeral home, we will be moving our Sending Love & Light Valentine’s Day event online. While we wish we could gather in person, the heart of this event—love, remembrance, and connection—remains the same.

We invite you to honor someone special by commenting below with your loved one’s name and one or two sentences you’d like to share about them. We will lovingly hand-write each message onto biodegradable seed paper, which will be planted this spring as a living tribute of love and remembrance 🌱💗. Please leave your comments before Friday, February 13th. We will write all of the names and messages and post a video update on Valentine's Day.

Your loved one does not need to have passed within the last year, and they do not need to have been served by our funeral home. All are welcome. Every story matters.

Please help us spread this act of remembrance by sharing this post with friends and family, so others may have the opportunity to honor the ones they carry in their hearts.

Thank you for allowing us to walk beside you in remembrance, today and always.

National Wear Red Day is observed on the first Friday in February, bringing awareness to heart disease and how we can help prevent it. On this day, people across the country wear red to show their support for heart health and to encourage others to do the same.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, especially for women. Each February, the Nation Goes Red—from landmarks to online communities, neighborhoods to news anchors ~ uniting millions with one powerful goal: saving more women’s lives.
Wear red to be seen.
Wear red to be counted.
Wear red to be heard.
Together, we are stronger than heart disease and stroke.

Out Reach lending a hand at local food pantry. The Hammondsville Church Food Pantry was proudly distributing the monthly food donation Wednesday which helps support our local families and neighbors in need. I was lucky enough to be 1 of 16 volunteers to help make this happen. We served 170 families and also 6 churches came to get food for their families in need. We unloaded 9 pallets of food, counted and bagged the fresh produce and loaded the vehicles with produce, frozen meat, milk, paper goods, non-perishable foods, snacks, toiletries, and desserts as they showed up from 9:00 til noon. It was a chilly morning in Hammondsville with our fingers and toes feeling it worse, but everyone had warm hearts and smiles on their faces. Such a wonderful service these volunteers do on days like this and behind the scenes daily all year long. Thank You Rhonda Householder for inviting me to help with the Food Pantry today.
