- September 17, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Karen Else Nielsen on September 17th 2024.
She is predeceased by her husband, Knud, and leaves behind 6 children, Kurt (Linda), Allan (Deb), Carol, Linda, Susan, and Glenn; 8 grandchildren, Cori (Justin), Terrence (Kristy), Nikki (Clayton), Eric (Sonya), Karl (Genevieve), Paul (Marcie), Robbie, and Christopher (Anneke); and 5 great grandchildren, Max, Caesey, Kendal, Addison and Isla.
Mom followed her husband and immigrated from Denmark in 1956 raising her family at Cluculz Lake, all while keeping in close touch with the local Danish community. She was very artistic and is well known for her petit point, egg decoration creations and handmade greeting cards. She was very welcoming and rarely went shopping without getting or receiving hugs from her extended family.
A big thank you goes out to the staff at Gateway Lodge who became her extended family. Our family so appreciates all you did to accommodate our mother with her crafts.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 3517 Bellamy Road, Prince George on Sunday, September 29th 2024 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm for her family and friends.
Anyone wanting to make a donation in her honor, please do so to the BC Cancer Society.
Mom, you will be greatly missed.
