It is with great sorrow that family of Karen Cornell are saddened to announce her passing on December 19th 2021 at the age of 63.
Karen will be lovingly remembered by her mother Shirley, her brother Paul and her sister Sharon and Sharon’s spouse Stephen. She loved with all of her heart her niece Danielle (& spouse Tom), her nephews Jesse (& spouse Daniela), Jake and Joel (& Joel’s wife Victoria and their children Dylan, Brayden and Summer). Her father Earl Cornell predeceased Karen and will meet her in heaven.
Christmas season was Karen’s favorite time of year, and she had a glow about her when ever she talked about Christmas and planning the making of her delicious desserts for her family celebrations.
She was a country girl at heart and loved every chance she could to visit her sister Sharon’s home in the country to sit by the fire and enjoyed telling some fun stories about her many outings with her great friends. It was no secret that Karen also loved Elvis and his music. Her and her friends would plan their yearly outings around events where Elvis impersonators would be performing. This included even going on an Elvis Cruise that was a highlight of her life, she talked fondly of her friends and these trips and outings. If you had asked Karen, she would have told you that Elvis was still alive with a little smile on her face. We always understood this to be that Elvis was still alive in everyone’s heart that loved him. This is the way we would like to remember Karen, that she will always be alive in our hearts and when ever we hear an Elvis tune, sitting by a fire, or sitting by her favorite tree we will be thinking of her. We will miss you dearly.
Arrangements entrusted to the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener, 519-749-8467.
Karen loved animals and leaves behind two kitties that will be well taken care of by her family members. It would have been her wish to have any donations be given to the Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society in her name. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
