Karen Joy Olson of Calgary, AB, passed to the next level on March 21, 2021 at the age of 66 years.

Even though having disabilities, she was of a patient and cheerful disposition with sweet humility and gentleness. A people-loving person, she made each person feel important. The heart-warming joy she imparted to each of us will be missed.

She is survived by sister Janis Wagler and brother-in-law Barry; brother Ron Olson and sister-in-law Holly; nieces, Breaugh, Genevieve, and Kiera Joy; twenty-three cousins, nine aunts and uncles; as well as social worker and friends, Gerda Ziegler, and Svetlana Stojanovic, and roommate/companion of over fifteen years, Maria Benz.
