DUNLOP: Karen (Morley) of Exeter and formerly of Huron Park

Peacefully at South Huron Hospital, Exeter on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 in her 51st year. Cherished wife of Kevin Dunlop for over 19 years. Proud mother of Dakota Dunlop of Exeter, and Jayden Dunlop of Exeter. Loving sister and sister-in-law of Steve and Brenda Morley, Denise and Thomas Starcher, Donna Dunlop, Dora-Lynn and Kevin Gage, and Corey Kennedy. Dear daughter-in-law of Gary and Barb Dunlop of Crediton. Fondly remembered by her many nieces and nephews. 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. Above all else, Karen’s greatest joy in life was her family, Kevin, Dakota, and Jayden meant the world to her.

A celebration of Karen’s life will be held at the Crediton Community Centre (38 Victoria Avenue East, Crediton) on Sunday, October 25th from 2 – 4 PM. A private family interment will be held at the St. James Cemetery, Clandeboye at a later date. Haskett Funeral Home, Exeter entrusted with arrangements.

Special thank you Ann Rundle and Jackie Glover for their care and compassion.

Condolence from Brenda Morgan on October 14th, 2026 9:24 PM

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.
