Karen's love of travel was instilled by her parents. She was always ready for an adventure and the opportunity to travel the world. She enjoyed finding the unique adventure while in each destination. In South Africa, she walked with the lions, in Calgary, she was able to race in a bobsled, and while in Belize, she swam with the sharks. She enjoyed photography and through sharing her amazing photos, we were all able to enjoy her journeys.

Karen enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She made a difference in the lives of so many people as a colleague, mentor and leader. She lived her life with Courage, Dignity and Grace.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Sarah J. (Harber) Corey and Donald E. Corey.
