Karen always fondly remembered her 30 years living in Springvale, ON raising her family and cultivating many friendships. She enjoyed her time as a French teacher working for the Department of Indian Affairs in Ohsweken, ON. The move to Lindsay, ON ten years ago allowed her to be a part of the lives of her grandchildren and that brought her tremendous joy. The family would like to thank the staff at Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay, ON for their care and compassion.
Following her wishes, cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be arranged at a later date. If desired, charitable donations can be made in Karen’s honour to an organization of your choosing.
