Kareen was predeceased by her husband: Mike Hay; daughter: Deborah Hay Grimes; son-in-law: Bruce Grimes; parents: Philip & Margaret Brown; brothers: Walter 'Doc', Alister.
Kareen passed away only miles from where she was born, however, there was a lot of life in those 90 years, which took her from the prairies, to Quebec, both the East and West coasts, with a short stop in the Caribbean!
She touched a lot of lives in her 90 years; as she moved though the journey of her life she always kept a sense of humor. After suffering a heart attack and being non responsive for 4 minutes in 2017, she was asked “what did you see?”, and without delay responding, “ not a damn thing, so I came back!”.
Kareen was many things to many people, a mother, wife, friend, business woman, baker, councilor, philosopher, and a comedian. She will be remembered by family and friends for never lacking a quick witted response, her delicious baking, her love, her humor and her altruistic spirit.
