Karen “Benay” Weiss Furfari

Benay was born in Paradise, California on September 5, 1953. She left this world to join her Heavenly Family on March 15, 2018.  Everyone who ever met Benay is quick to say that she was a “Ray of Sunshine” in their lives.  Benay was one of the most positive people God ever put on this planet.  She always lived by her Favorite Slogan which was:

“Life is not Measured by the Breaths we take, but rather by the Moments which take our Breath away”.

Benay was preceded in death by her Mother Zoe Weiss and her Sister Linda Wilson.

She is survived by her loving husband Tony Furfari, her Father Burton Weiss, her Sister Marjorie Judah and husband Kevin , her Brother Andrew Weiss, her Son James Amoroso and wife Ami, her Daughter Nicolette Lincoln and husband Berney, her Stepchildren Nick and Kyle Furfari, and her Grandchildren Connor Furfari and Luca Amoroso, as well as her loyal and loving Maltese Service Dog Bella Ragassa.

Benay requested that in lieu of a Funeral Service, she wanted a Celebration of her life and a scattering of her ashes be held in Paradise, California, the place where she was born.  She loved the Napa Valley dearly, and the Celebration of her life will take place during the Summer of 2018.
