DOVER - Karen Page Sechler passed away Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019 at home.
Mrs. Sechler was born June 28, 1952 in Abington, Pa. to the late Frank Leroy Moyer, Sr. and Marjory Page Moyer.
She received her Bachelor's Degree in Elementary and Special Education from Kutztown State College and her Master's Degree in Reading Instruction from Wilmington University. Mrs. Sechler worked as a special education teacher for 21 years, retiring in 2015. She was a member of the Delaware Choral Society from 1976-2004, serving on the Board for many of those years and as president for three years. Mrs. Sechler was an accomplished seamstress who made her own wedding dress as well as her daughters' wedding dresses and who frequently was called upon to do seemingly impossible alterations for friends and their families. She also enjoyed knitting and crocheting, and she always had several needlework projects in the works. She played several musical instruments, including the piano and her beloved Gibson guitar. She loved all children and was called "Mama" not just by her children, but by nearly all of their friends as well. She also loved the beach, especially at Cape Henlopen State Park and Fenwick Island.
She is survived by her husband of 46 years, David Lee Sechler of Dover; daughters, Nena Craven and her husband Blair of Newark, Bernadine Sechler of Dover and Frances Boker and her husband Aaron of Germantown, Md.; brothers, Richard Moyer of Dover and Frank L. Moyer, Jr. of Sacramento, Calif.; grandchildren, Brennan Craven, Logan Gallo, Lyla and Ari Boker.
