Karen K. Wilson
On the evening of Wednesday, February 15, 2017, Karen Kelly Wilson, age 72, of Mahone Bay, peacefully passed away at home, surrounded by love, with her daughter, Shannon and grand dog, Crosby, by her side. Karen is survived by her daughter, Shannon Leal of Mahone Bay; granddaughter, Alexa Leal of Georgetown, Ont.; sister, Janice Price (Martin) of Brantford, Ont.; niece, Tara Price of Brantford, Ont. and nephews, Mark Price of Hamilton, Ont. and Joey Price of Pembrook, Ont.. Karen was predeceased by her brother, Gregory Kelly (Hamilton, Ont.) and husband, Ernest Huckerby (Toronto, Ont.). Karen spent over thirty years in the financial services industry, developing administrative procedures and creating exceptional client experiences. She helped launch and nurture many careers that continue to thrive to this day. Her greatest career legacy however, is the incredible family she created. A family in every way, made up of colleagues and coworkers, that has continued to deepen and grow with love, with each passing year. Karen had a deep, life long faith and believed in a life of service. She contributed to every community of which she was a member. In Nova Scotia, she volunteered with Breast Cancer Action Nova Scotia, Pier 21, Scott Manor House, The Mahone Bay Food Bank and was a member of the St. James Anglican Church Women in Mahone Bay. In Ontario, she volunteered with Meals on Wheels, Palliative Care, the Food Banks of Burlington and London and was an active member of St. Vincent de Paul and the Catholic Women's League. One of Karen's most favourite things was afternoon tea. She was always happy to share a pot of tea whether with coworkers during an afternoon break, one on one with a friend, during her many travels or dressing up with friends for a tea party. Karen had a wonderful sense of humour and all who knew her came to know it well. She touched hearts and lives everywhere she went with her humble spirit and graceful soul. She will be greatly missed by her many friends and family. Her daughter, Shannon would like to extend her heartfelt gratitude for the compassion and care of South Shore Palliative Care, the ALS Society of NS and NB and the wonderful nurses of VON Lunenburg County. In lieu of flowers, donations in Karen's name can be made to VON Lunenburg County. Services for Karen will be held at St. James Anglican Church, Mahone Bay, Father Chad McCharles officiating, on Friday, March 3, 2017 at 11:00am with reception to follow in the church hall.
