Condolences
Kari was a wonderful colleague and a trusted friend. I will miss her tremendously. My heartfelt condolences to her family and her many friends.
I worked with Kari for over a decade and you cannot find a more caring, dedicated and approachable colleague than Kari. I have learnt so much from her over the years and will always be grateful for her mentorship. I am still processing her passing. A great loss to all of us who knew her. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.....
When I think of Kari I think of “kind”. Perhaps an overused word, but it means generosity of heart – being gentle, caring, and compassionate. I am so grateful I got to know her
Kari was a wonderful person with a great heart and a gentle smile who will be missed by all who knew her. My deepest condolences to her family on their loss.
I am so sorry to hear about Kari's passing - it's hard to believe that someone as vibrant as Kari could be taken away from us so soon. My heart goes out to Kari's family and all those who love her. - Emy
Kari was my daughter Tammy’s best friend since Junior high & remained best friends. She was her maid of honour. They’ve went in a few vacations together….one of which was her family along with our entire family (30+) on a Disney/Cruise vacation in Florida.
Kari was also my friend. We graduated Faculty of Management at U of C.
Kari, you’ll always be remembered for your easy going manner, kindness & sense of adventure.
You’ll be missed everyday but can take comfort with all the wonderful memories.
Rest in Peace
I was so saddened to hear of Kari's passing. Kari's light shone so brightly and she made a positive and lasting impact on everyone she met. I've known and worked with Kari for many years and have such great memories of the conversations and laughs that we shared. To Kari's family - I'm so heartbroken for you, but I know that her love and light will live on through you all. My deepest condolences.
We are so sad to have lost our dear friend Kari. Kari and Pete have raised beautiful, intelligent, caring children, a true reflection of who they are. We will always cherish our memories and good times with Kari - numerous family birthdays, skiing, camping, trips to Las Vegas, and Palm Springs, New Years Eve fireworks on the lake, and her love-hate relationship with sake.
Kari is an inspiration to us, a beautiful, hard-working, courageous woman, we are so thankful for the time we had with her.
We love you!
Mike and Wendy
Rest easy dear Kari.Thank you for your kindness and light. I am blessed to have known you. Peace and strength to Peter and your beautiful children.
Kari was a wonderful, genuine, caring, intelligent, strong, graceful, calming presence who will live on through her family, friends, and all the people she has touched over the years. I will remember her always, and especially when I see a pink flower, a peaceful garden or forest, whenever I make pesto, see a Ferris Wheel, or have sushi, whenever I pour a cup of tea, or a thousand other things that we shared over the years. There are no words to heal the pain of such a great loss. It brings me comfort, and hopefully will bring her family and friends some small measure of comfort, to believe, as I do, that Kari's presence will be felt by all who knew her, or met her even for a moment, everyone she has touched, for years to come. She is a true gift that keeps on giving.
My deepest condolences to Peter, Anna, Andrew, Sarah, Kari's parents, her brother and sister. Kari was my very dear friend, and my heart is broken about her passing. Kari shared her diagnosis with me a few months ago as diificult as it was for her to share, and took the time to thank me for our friendship. I will never forget this act of love from her. Kari and I clicked as soon as we met as client and lawyer in 2012 and we became great friends and supported each other from that day on. I will miss my dear friend, our laughs, our lunches, how we teased each other and how we talked about how to best help our kids and our families. Kari was one of the best people I ever met and she was loved and respected by all who met her. Her kindness and compassion were immeasurable. She always had a kind and encouraging word to give. I will miss her so much. Peter, Anna, Andrew and Sarah, your wife and mom was an angel and may her memory be a blessing forever. Rest in Peace my dear friend.
Dear Sharon and Larry, Lori And Michael,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Kari. It’s unbelievable to have happened to someone so young and vibrant!
We always looked forward to meeting Kari every summer at the Lake. My boys always looked up to Kari because she was just a bit older and they followed her lead in all their adventures together. She was like the big sister that they never had. Our hearts go out to Lori and Michael at this tragic time.
It was a pleasure to have known Kari and she will be sorely missed!
We will always remember the good times we had at the Lake!
Love to all,
Margaret and Ken

Our deepest condolences to Kari’s loved ones during this difficult time. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Kari was easily the most adored and quick-witted “light” in the room. Her professionalism and knowledge made her the first go to person for all things difficult. We will miss her contagious laugh, genuine nature, and purposeful kindness. It was an honor to have had her on our team on many projects and as a friend.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Kari's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Kari's family during this very difficult time. I had the privilege to work with Kari over the last decade shortly after moving to Canada. Kari, you were a great mentor and always very supportive. You made a significant impact to my legal career in Canada and I will always be grateful for your support and guidance.
Love,

My sincerest condolences to Peter, Sarah, Anna and Andrew and the rest of Kari's extended family. Kari will always live in our hearts as a bright light in her warmth, kindness, sense of humour and intelligence in all that she did and with all whom she met and worked with. I had the honour and pleasure of working closely with Kari for 14 of her 18 years at Enbridge, and we often had offices within the same areas of each floor. While she was obviously great at her job, her true and proper priorities always shone through: the love, joy and pride she had for her family. We were blessed to have known her and she'll live in our hearts and memories forever.
My deepest condolences to Kari's family and dearest friends. It was truly a pleasure working with Kari. She was an amazing mentor and sponsor to me. She will be deeply missed. “Die happily and look forward to taking up a new and better form. Like the sun, only when you set in the west can you rise in the east.” - Rumi
We are deeply saddened by Kari's passing. Our thoughts and love are with Pete, Anna, Sarah and Andrew, and with all of the Olesens and Ahearns. We were hoping to catch up with Kari when we return to Canada in December and are sorry that we cannot be there to support you now. We have such fond memories of time spent with Kari.
Love,
Stephen, Katie and family (from Perth Australia)
Kari hired me to be a Legal Assistant on her team at Enbridge 8 years ago and we had worked together ever since, and more closely over the last couple of years. I always admired Kari for being a kind and thoughtful person and she was so smart and truly dedicated to her work. The last time I saw Kari was a few months ago and she told me she didn’t realize how popular she was until recently and it’s true - so many people knew and loved her. She will be so greatly missed and I am thinking of you and sending my deepest condolences Peter, Anna, Andrew and Sarah.
I am deeply saddened to hear about Kari's passing this morning. I have had the honour to work with her over the years and she was always reliable, professional and calm. She will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to her family during this difficult time.
I am shocked and saddened to hear of Kari's passing. My sincere condolences to her family at this difficult time. I had the pleasure of working with Kari at Enbridge and remember her smile, kindness and professionalism.
I loved Kari from the moment I met her. She was thoughtful and purposeful in everything she did, and had the wittiest sense of humor. Just when you thought no-one in the room was listening, Kari would quip a funny line and make us all laugh. Working with her was such a pleasure and I'm heartbroken that we've lost her. Peter and family, I hope you find comfort in each other as you mourn the loss of this beautiful soul.
I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. I worked alongside Kari in the Law Department for over a decade and occasionally we worked on the same transaction. She was professional and knowledgeable, and also kind, thoughtful and generous. I recall bumping into people outside of Enbridge on more than one occasion who asked if I knew Kari (upon learning where I worked) and then told me how much they loved working with her and to make sure I passed on a hello. She left her mark on everyone she encountered. My deepest condolences to Peter and family during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, You have gone too soon Kari. Your legacy of love and your caring heart will continue to bring light to others.
I am so very sorry to hear the news, it was an honor to work with her, My deepest condolences to her family.
I was very fortunate to have been able to work with Kari over the years, spanning several projects and transactions. I remember her professionalism and her humour the most. My sincere and deep condolences to your family for this great loss.

My deepest condolences to Kari's family and loved ones. I had the pleasure of working with and learning from Kari for many years as colleagues at Enbridge. She was not only a great lawyer, but more importantly she was a wonderful person. I was so sad to hear about this latest challenge and now to hear that Kari has passed. She will be missed very much.
I am so very sorry to hear the news and I was honored to be able to work with Kari at Enbridge. She brought her humour and practical nature to her job along with her fantastic technical skills. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. Cathy Ward
My condolences to Peter and family. Kari's kindness and caring nature was contagious and this memory of her will live on forever in my heart. It has been a privilege and an honor to know this amazing woman.
My deepest condolences to Pete and kids. I remember Kari as a young teen growing up in Whitehorn with my niece Tammy, as we lived across the street. She was always very polite, friendly and a joy to be around. She will be missed for sure and may the Lord give you all the comfort that helps to heal. Nancy Yuen and family
My deepest condolences to Peter and family. Kari was a joy to know and work with, and I will always be thankful for her steadiness, professionalism and wonderful sense of humour. The world has lost a bright light.
