Karen is predeceased by her parents, Wes and Janet McGillvray. Karen leaves behind her loving husband of 46 years Ross Sheldon, her children, Jacquelyn (Cody Appleyard), Carly (Chad Leganchuk) and her three siblings, Kelli (Philip Palmer), Kristi (Mark Painter) and Jim (Holly Beasse) along with many nieces and nephews. Karen is so loved by her four grandchildren, Ryan, Madelyn, Brooklyn and Sawyer. She will be deeply missed.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Selkirk Hospital for their kindness and compassion shown to Karen over her last few days.

Karen and I were co-workers at Seven Oaks Hospital. Our offices were right across the hall from each other. We watched our children grow up, get married and have children of their own. Our favorite question of the day was 'What are you having for supper?" She had a big heart and a gentle soul. Condolences to you Ross and the girls. She fought the good fight and will be missed. - Posted by: Linda Codville (Co-worker) on: Jun 22, 2025

Our heartfelt condolences to Ross and his family. We were so blessed to have Karen and you as friends! Our time at the lake was always better when you guys arrived, boat rides to watch the seasons change, bbq’s and beverages in the gazebo, but most of all Karen’s favourite, sitting around the campfire looking at the stars. We know you’re up there with Jersey enjoying them even more. Love Norine and Ralph - Posted by: Ralph Okrainec (Friend) on: Jun 12, 2025
