Karen Langehennig died on November 30, 2019, just weeks after her 46th birthday.
She was the devoted spouse (as far as anyone is concerned) and verbal sparring partner of Bill Scholl for the past 13 years. She met her partner and verbal sparring partner Bill Scholl, whom she considered her spouse, online 13 years ago.
Born November 13, 1973, in Patchogue to John and Eleanor (Ott) Langehennig, she was incessantly “tortured” since the day of her birth by her older brothers, Bill and Ed Langehennig. She graduated from William Floyd High School in 1991, she went on to earn a master’s degree in physical therapy from Springfield University and eventually became the director of rehabilitation at the Hampton Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing. Survivors said she was an incredibly hard worker and was extremely devoted to her patients and staff.
She loved spending time with her family, spoiling her nephews, and chasing after her furry “kids,” Tank and K.C. She had a huge heart and always put others before herself, survivors said, adding that she possessed a compassionate spirit, loved to travel, and had an infectious (and often loud) laugh.
In addition to Mr. Scholl, she is survived by her father, John Langehennig; brothers, Bill Langehennig and Edward (Jill) Langehennig; and nephews, Tyler and Evan Langehennig. She was predeceased by her mother, Eleanor (Ott) Langehennig; and nephew Ryan Langehennig.
Funeral arrangements were under the direction of the Scott-Rothwell Funeral Home in Hampton Bays.
