PITTSFIELD - Karen E. Yout, 71, of Pittsfield, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, February 26, 2022. Born on October 2, 1950 in Boston, MA, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Beatrice (Vareka) Farina. Karen worked for many years at the Concord Monitor until her retirement. She was known for many things, including her charismatic personality and her infamous meatball and sauce recipe that she refused to share. Karen loved Boston sports, and any animal was her friend. She enjoyed shopping (especially for shoes), visiting the ocean and seeing dolphins. She enjoyed fast cars and was always telling funny stories. Karen had a knack for crafts and took up knitting to help others. She is survived by her children: Colleen Yout and her family, Brendan Yout and his family, Caitlin Metcalfe and her family, her sister Dorothy Richardson, as well as her fiance, Alfred LeBouef with whom she shared 13 years. A private family gathering will be held. Those wishing to honor Karen's life can make a donation to the New Hampshire SPCA.
