Karn, Marjorie Marie Cecilia:
Heaven welcomed a beautiful angel on May 5, 2021, and the Blue Jay’s and the Raptors biggest fan, has moved onto a new realm. Sis, Mom, Grandma you left unexpectedly and we didn’t get to say goodbye but we’re happy to know that you didn’t have to suffer alone in a hospital during these crazy times.
Our beloved Marjorie spent 97 years on this earth and made every one of them count. Thank you for always keeping us safe in your thoughts and prayers.
Marjorie was a kind-hearted soul who was always thinking about and feeding others. She will live on in so many of her siblings, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Marjorie was fiercely independent, with endless generosity and was an inspirational role model to everyone. She spent much of her time pondering over and solving the daily crossword puzzles in the K-W Record as well as relentlessly trying to skunk her great grandson, Jordan, in a good game of cribbage.
We know her love will continue to guide all of us from the other side. We can’t imagine life without you!
