KAREN KOWALCHUK It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Karen Eve Kowalchuk on Tuesday, June 4, 2013. With her husband Christopher and her closest friend Janyne by her side, Karen slipped away peacefully after a long, but well-fought battle with cancer. Just the day before, Karen had quietly celebrated with Christopher, her 54th birthday along with their seventh anniversary. Cremation has taken place and a private celebration of her life will take place later in the summer when the flowers are in bloom. A longer obituary will follow.
