Frank J Karweta

Frank Joseph Karweta, 64, of Northampton, Pa.  died Wednesday, September 19, 2018, at St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem, Pa. Born in Wilkes Barre, Pa, he was the son of the late Frank and Lottie (Brzyski) Karweta. He was the husband of the late Maryann (Manziano) Karweta, with whom he celebrated 28 years of marriage until her death in 2014.

Frank attended Gate of Heaven grade school and was a graduate of Dallas High School, Dallas, Pa. He furthered his education and graduated in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science Degree majoring in Law Enforcement and Corrections from Pennsylvania State University. Frank was employed as an Adult Probation and Parole Officer for Lehigh County for 25 years. Frank's interests were wide and varied from traveling to fishing, riding his dirt bike to sports. He completed several home construction projects and his talent for gardening was evident with the numerous indoor plants he cultivated as well as his extensive outdoor garden. He always looked forward to planting and caring for his yearly vegetable garden. His love of music was constant through his life and he never turned down an invitation to attend a music venue. His love for animals was apparent. Through the years he provided a place for rescued felines and collies to call home. He particularly enjoyed the company of his pets while taking daily walks. Frank enjoyed spending time with his family and never missed an opportunity to send best wishes to those celebrating special occasions. Frank's experiences and his adventurous spirit afforded him the opportunity to meet interesting and wonderful friends whose lives he touched and who in turn enriched his life.

Surviving is a sister, Mary Jo Shisko and her husband, Michael of Harveys Lake; and close family and friends.
