Predeceased by her parents Lorne and Linda (Lightfoot) Morley, and mother-in-law Patricia Dunlop.
Karen was well known for her love of making chocolates through Karen’s Home Made Chocolates, sharing her sweet creations with those around her. She had a special place in her heart for her beloved dogs and enjoyed spending time at the Motorplex and heading up north whenever she had the opportunity.

There is some people in our lives who we meet,, that no matter when or how often we saw each other, when we walked away,, we would feel happier after speaking with them.. That was how it was with Karen,,, Her bubbly personality,, her welcoming ways,, her incredible smile,,, all rolled into one,, was a ray of sunshine when you saw her. I know that things have not always been easy for her,, but it still never dampened her disposition when you spoke with her. She has raised two incredible boys,, and always spoke about them with such pride. Between Kevin and these boys,, they were her entire life. I know that she will be so happy to be reunited with her Mom and Dad,, and Gunner.. ,, I know how much her heart was broken when she lost them. I am sure her infectious loving spirit with live in each of you,, as it always has. Jay,, and Dakota,, you both have so many of your Moms ways,, and your Moms memory will live on through you both. I am so sorry Kevin,, Dakota and Jay for your loss.. Huge hugs to each one of you.
