Karen Gillespie

With her family by her side, Karen Gillespie passed away knowing she was loved on Tuesday December 31, 2024.  She will be missed so much by her husband Joe and her children Bree, Carrie, Chris, Dianna and Jennifer as well as 13 grandchildren, all of whom she was very proud.

Karen was born 75 years ago to the late Mabel and Elgin Faules and was raised in the Arkona area.  She was a business teacher by profession and enjoyed doing bookkeeping for many years.   She appreciated all the beauty that the world had to offer, be it a full moon over the lake, a fresh blanket of snow or a garden full of spring flowers.  She was at peace amongst nature.  She made Ridgetown and Shrewsbury her home before settling in Blenheim.  She will be missed.

Family and friends are invited to the Blenheim Community Funeral Home on Saturday January 18, 2025 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. for a time to meet Karen’s family and to share memories of a life well lived.
