Suddenly at home due to health complications on Thursday, September 22, 2022 at the age of 58. Loving wife of Terry for over 30 years. Cherished Mom to Meagan and Quinn. Survived by her father Frederick of London. Karen will be deeply missed by her siblings Gord (Linda) of London, Sheila (Joe) of Burlington, David (Anne) of London, and Donna (Matt) of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Daughter-in-law of Elva, and sister-in-law of Anne of Vancouver and Mark (Debbie) of Rockwood. Karen will be remembered by many nieces and nephews.
Karen worked with London Hydro for 32 years. She was the first female System Operator with London Hydro. Karen leaves behind a difficult role to fill. She was a Sparks, Brownies, and Girl Guide Leader in Komoka. Karen was a member of the Komoka Optimist Club. Her best days were spent at the cottage at Ashby Lake with family and friends. The sunset there will never be the same.

Our deepest sympathy on your loss.
I am so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. Karen and I worked together in the Control Room years ago at London Hydro. My deepest condolences to Karen's family. Thoughts and prayers to you.
To the family of Karen, we are sorry for your loss. I worked with Karen, though a different department at London Hydro. Always found her very proficient in her job, but most of all I loved talking to Karen about cottaging, her at Ashby Lake, us in the Kawarthas. One other thing we had in common is we both had daughters named Meagan and spelled the same way. Hope Karen's family can take solace in the times you shared at Ashby Lake.
My sincerest condolences to the family. I have fond memories of Karen when she gave back to her community as a committed Guide leader and Optimist member. We had many fun times together in the spirit of volunteering. She will be missed.
Terry, Meagan and Quinn, my heart is saddened by your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Karen was an amazing woman, strong, thoughtful and caring. She will be deeply missed by everyone.
Terry, Megan & Quinn we are deeply sorry to hear of Karen's passing. Know that you are in our thoughts as you go through this terrible time. She was certainly an inspiration to many and I know my Dad (Rick Rogers) enjoyed chatting with her years ago about Ontario Hydro. Ashby Lake has lost so many amazing beautiful people and I like to think they are all enjoying a beautiful sunset together.
Words fail to express my deep sorrow for your loss. Karen and I shared so many laughs and wonderful conversations at work. She was a special person with a loving spirit who will be missed. ❤
Our hearts are smashed and we're stunned. Our deepest condolences to the family. "The sunset on Ashby lake will never be the same. " xoxo sending love and strength xoxo
I am saddened to hear of Karen's passing. She was a gal highly admired and respected. On some of those long night shifts, we'd share an extended coffee break, a story or two and a good laugh. She will be terribly missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Rest in peace, Karen. God bless.
So very sorry for your loss.
My sincerest condolences to the Henry family. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Be at peace Karen.
May you Rest In Peace.I know you will be a special angel for Meagan and Quinny.I’m so sorry

Such a sad and tragic loss. I remember Karen's smile and upbeat personality from my time working with her at London Hydro. Deepest condolences to all of her family.
We are beyond sad to hear of Karen’s passing. I worked with Karen in the Control Room for over 25 years and always considered her to be an important and valued member of the Control Room team at London Hydro. She was an excellent System Operator! I enjoyed hearing about her family and their busy life and I know she loved going to the cottage. Shelley always enjoyed the good talks and laughs she had with Karen. Terry, Meagan, Quinn and family, we know there are no words that can help ease the grief you are feeling at this sad time, but please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace Karen 🙏🏻 Al and Shelley Popovich
