Karen Klug (née Wiegers)

It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of Karen Klug, who left us far too soon on April 24, 2025, at the age of 51, surrounded by family at Victoria Hospital. Karen leaves behind her loving husband, Ingo; her two children, Mia and Dylan, who were the center of her universe; her mother, Ilonka; and her brother, Thorsten. She will be deeply missed, but her love, laughter, and spirit will stay with us always.

Karen led an extraordinary life marked by compassion, curiosity, and drive. Born on April 8, 1974, she followed her passions across the globe, building an impressive international career. From Canada to Japan, Germany, Switzerland and Australia, Karen brought wisdom, energy, and kindness wherever she went. But no matter where her career took her, home was always wherever her family was.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Karen was the heart of her family. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, and cherished daughter and sister. Her greatest joy came from exploring the world and sharing those experiences with her children. A proud hockey mom, Karen spent countless hours cheering from the sidelines at rinks across Southwestern Ontario, always her kids’ biggest fan.

A private funeral will be held. Details regarding a celebration of life will be shared with friends and family. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be considered to the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre (formerly the London Regional Cancer Centre) or the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation.
