Wells, Karen Leanne (nee Klop)
Passed away suddenly at the St. Catharines General Hospital on Friday
April 5, 2019 at the age of 39. Beloved wife of Derrick Wells and his
daughter Kahlea. Cherished daughter of Neil and Linda Klop and
daughter-in-law of Francis and Carolyn Wells. Loving sister of Josh
Klop (Leanne) and sister-in-law of Patrick Wells (Ann-Marie). Beloved
aunt of Austin, Grayson, Jordan, Emily and Matthew. Lovingly
remembered by her aunts, uncles, cousins and a large circle of
friends. Especially remembered by Aunt Edna. Karen will be greatly
missed by her loving dog Zander. Karen was a 911 dispatcher with the
Niagara Regional Police Service and a member of “The Friends of
the Carousel”. She was a strong woman who loved life. Karen
enjoyed being with nature, especially camping. Karen’s genuine
love of animals was notable and admirable (Dudley). Karen loved
listening to music and having fun with her family and friends. She
loved her life despite the challenges she faced with a diagnosis of
Lupus at the age of 18. Karen had a fighting spirit and her strength
and courage would not allow her illness to define her. She lived
simply, walked humbly and loved genuinely. Karen had a strong love of
family and friends, for they are what made her the happiest. She will
be dearly missed. Visitation will be held at Patrick J. Darte Funeral
Chapel, 39 Court Street, St. Catharines (905-685-6584) on Wednesday,
