It is with deep sorrow that the family of Karan Love announce the passing of their beloved mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, and friend to all who knew her. Karan passed peacefully on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, at the age of 75 years. She sustained a serious head injury after a fall on June 11, 2024, which she was unable to recover from.
Karan was born on September 3, 1948, in Moosomin, Saskatchewan to proud parents, Verona and Elmer King. She enjoyed her childhood years, growing up with her older brothers, Roger and Garry. The family moved to Medicine Hat, Alberta in 1956.
Karan graduated from Crescent Heights High School in 1966, being voted friendliest by her peers. She enjoyed all high school sports and activities, playing on the senior girls basketball and volleyball teams. Karan also loved golf and curling. She was a junior golf champion at the Medicine Hat Golf and Country Club. Karan represented Alberta in the 1975 Canada Lassies Curling Championships in Moncton, New Brunswick as a member of the Sharon Grigg Rink.
Following a number of jobs in insurance and banking, Karan had a long career as a library assistant with the Medicine Hat School Division (1987-2016). During this time, Karan enjoyed a number of friendships with students and teachers alike. Karan will always be remembered as such a fun, kind, and generous person with a great sense of humour and a wonderful smile. She loved the company of family and friends, playing cards (poker and bridge) and spending fun times in Okotoks with her grandchildren, Kapri and Kane.
She will be dearly missed by her son, Colin (Taryn) Love; her daughter, Dana (Steve) Kowalski; two grandchildren, Kapri and Kane; her brother, Garry King; sister-in-law, Phyllis King, as well as numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Elmer and Verona King and her brother, Roger King (April 23, 2024).
A celebration of life will be held at a later date and details will be announced at that time. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to all of the medical staff at Calgary Foothills Hospital and the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital for their excellent care and compassion. The kindness of friends and relatives has been very supportive. A special thanks to Val Brade for her support and help. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the charity of your choice in Karan’s memory.
