A celebration of life will be held at a later time, where all are welcome to gather and share memories, smiles, and love in honor of Karen.

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Karen Maxine Collins on June 29th, a woman whose laughter, love, and light touched everyone she met.

Born January 22, 1956, Karen was the beloved daughter of Jim and Maxine Graham. She grew up in Erieau, Ontario, alongside her cherished siblings Bonnie and Dennis.

A proud and devoted mother, she raised her three children — Billy, Beau, and Amanda — with endless love, patience, and humor.

Karen was a proud Mimi to Alexander and Hailey, and nothing meant more to her than watching her family grow. She cared deeply for all her nieces and nephews — She held them close in her heart and was deeply proud of the people they are becoming.

To know Karen was to smile. She had an unforgettable sense of humor and a positivity that lit up every room she walked into. Conversations with her often ended in laughter, and her warmth made everyone feel like family. She was not just loved — she was love, in its most joyful and genuine form.

A celebration of life will be held at a later time, where all are welcome to gather and share memories, smiles, and love in honor of Karen.
