So very sorry to hear of Karen’s passing my heart breaks for her family and friends. She was a wonderful person I worked with Karen for many years in the Compensation community. We were coworkers and also became friends. She will be so sorely missed ❤️

Karen and I go back a long way. We met at the Canadian Grain Commission many years ago. Through the years we worked in other departments and occasionally we would meet again and again She knew her stuff. She was the one many employees went to for advice (including me). She was extremely knowledgable in her work and was always there to help. She was very generous with her time when you needed it. She loved life and she loved her family. Condolences to the family. She will be missed.

Condolences to Karens family and friends♥️

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. Karen was a wonderful spirit, she will be missed.

We are really going to miss Karen. As a close friend for over 40 years, I think back about all of the good times we had travelling, laughing, and experiencing our daughters grow up together, Karen was an excellent cook and her prime rib dinner was the best. When spending time in Arizona or the lake, you could usually find her outside enjoying the very early mornings with a good book and a hot coffee. She was a person with a big heart, and always had time for her friends and family. Karen was especially proud of her children and couldn't stop talking about her grandchildren.

Rest in peace my friend.

Karen, the woman who used to scare me until I got to know her.  As we became great friends, I learned she was such a caring person, always putting everyone else first.

Thinking back to our compensation days, her questions at pay seminars would drive us all crazy, but she needed to know how it was going to work from the beginning to the end of a pay transaction.  She had the experience of working at Pay Office and then she became a Compensation Advisor, so then it all made sense why she would ask all those questions.

I admired her amazing vocabulary.  I’d sit there in my cubicle at 303 and listen to her speak with clients.  I wanted to be like her as an advisor, so I took that experience of working with her and applied it to my work ethic.

After retirement, we worked closely together for a few years and became close friends. She was there for me when I was fighting cancer.  We enjoyed our times at the lake, lunches with our advisor friends and sitting around at my place shooting the breeze.

She loved her family, she loved to travel.  She was a caregiver to many family members and her family meant the world to her.  I will miss you Karen, you are now pain free.  Rest in peace wherever you may be.

May Karen rest in peace! My sincere condolences to the family.

Dennis, Steven, Melissa and family,

I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife and Mom.

I first met Karen at SSC and later at another dept where I had the opportunity to work with her. She was an excellent Comp Advisor, an amazing colleague, and a thoughtful and caring friend. Karen was a fighter and she was strong willed. I will miss her and her friendship and the lunches we had with our other colleagues. 

Sending you all strength, love and hugs.

Linda

I will truly miss our our chats and hugs in the kitchen touching base and sharing stories of grandchildren. Rest easy my friend.🩷
