May 11, 1957 - August 12, 2024
In loving memory ~
It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Karen following her sudden battle with cancer.
She is survived by her loving husband John Lee, her mother Sylvia Wright, 3 sisters Charlene Johnson, Jeanette Wright and Lee Anne LePas, 2 children Melanie Shumka and Daniel Wright, 9 grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceased by her father Gerald Wright and stepfather Jack Boivin. Karen was born and grew up in Burnaby, BC until the family moved to Nanaimo in 1973. She began her career as a hairdresser and then returned to school to work as a Community Home Support Worker for 30 years until she retired.
Karen will always be remembered for her love of animals and nature from a very young age, especially birds and horses. We will miss the sound of her laughter, her gentle quiet nature and her kindness to all others.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, 14 September 2024 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at 2254 South Wellington Road, Nanaimo, BC.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the BC SPCA Animal Shelter in Nanaimo - http://www.spca.bc.ca/nanaimo.
"We wish we had more time to laugh, to reminisce and to hold your hand. But before we knew it you were gone, and we are left wishing we had more time together with you."
