Karen Marie St. Croix
June 9, 1986 – January 11, 2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, sister and aunt, Karen Marie St.Croix, on Tuesday, January 11, 2022, at the young age of 35.
Karen is predeceased by both sets of grandparents, James and Annie Kielly, Austin and Ellen St.Croix, and many other members of the Kielly and St.Croix families.
Karen will be truly missed by her loving parents Kenneth and Marilyn St.Croix, her sisters Jocelyn (Glen) Putt, Sheryl (Jimmy) King, and Erin (Todd) Etchegary; her beloved niece and nephews Austin, Owen, Jesse, Aiden, Noah, and Ella; her godparents who she adored, who always went above and beyond for Karen throughout her whole life, Uncle Austin (Jr) St Croix and Dianne Boland; Sean Sullivan, her all time favourite musician and friend; Karen’s number two mom, Gertie Roche; her life long friend Melissa Boland; Karen’s many wonderful aunts, uncles and cousins; and a large circle of amazing friends, including her Irish Loop Family, especially Kim and Kevin Fudge, and Carolyn and Gary Connolly.
The family would like to send a special thanks to all the wonderful staff of 5 South B, and Dr. Cliona McManamon who provided exceptional care and support to Karen and the family through this difficult time.
Karen was happiest when she was surrounded by her niece and nephews and her pets, her horse Queenie and dog Sprocket. Karen enjoyed listening to local musicians, specifically Sean Sullivan, John Curran, and the Masterless Men. She would often be found singing loudly and clapping along. Karen enjoyed the simple things in life like watching birds, and rides in the old car with her dad.
Cremation has taken place. Due to current COVID restrictions, a celebration of Karen’s life will be held at a later date.
“A limb has fallen from the family tree
That says grieve, not for me,
Remember the best times, the laughter, the song,
The good life I lived while I was strong.”
