This one hits hard . I grew up on James street so I’ve known Karen for decades . She had to walk by my house to get to downtown. She always waved or stopped to talk. We kept in touch over the years and even worked together at Dukes Variety in the early 2000’s . She held both my children after they were born and watched them grow . Karen was a beautiful woman and even more beautiful soul . We had a lot of good times together . She will be missed by many .

Paige Burnett - March 27, 2025

From all accounts, Karen was the centre of the social life of her apartment building, and did a great job of keeping the building neat and tidy, and in touch with my father’s office; She was a connection between her neighbours and our office, and I recall meeting her and her beloved fur-baby on a couple of occasions there: she seemed like a lovely person. Her presence at and around her home, which will be forever changed, will be greatly missed, I am certain. My sincere condolences to all your family and friends who will miss her very much.
