Karen Gayle McKenzie

OCTOBER 14, 1958 \endash AUGUST 29, 2022

Passed away at home on Monday, August 29, 2022 at the age of 63 years. Beloved wife of the late Samuel McKenzie. Predeceased by her devoted and loving parents Elmer and Gwen Arndt (nee Tutt). Karen's family and friends will gather at Westmount Memorial Celebration Centre, 1001 Ottawa St. S., Kitchener, (519-743-8900), on Friday, September 9, 2022, from 9:00 - 9:45 a.m., where the funeral service will be held in the chapel at 10:00 a.m., with Bishop Matt Skogsdad of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officiating. Interment at Woodland Cemetery and a dedication at the graveside will follow. We are not planning a reception at this time. Karen was born and raised in Kitchener, as did her father, her grandfather (Arndt) and great-grandfather (Willis). She served a church mission in B.C. in her 20's and continued to serve in the church throughout her life. A couple of weeks ago a dove landed on Karen's balcony on Margaret Ave. Soon after, she became the proud guardian of baby doves and she took great joy in watching 'her doves' grow. We are so thankful that her Father in Heaven sent this gift to Karen to cheer her in what became her final days. We are also grateful for those who have helped to care for her during these past years. Karen wanted to go home, to be with her parents and now, she is. Well done, Karen. All is well.

"For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Saying, Fear not... be of good cheer...for I believe God, that it shall be, even as it was told me."

-Acts 27: 23-25
