nee: Campbell
a.k.a Kool Aid
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved mother, sister, niece, sister in-law, aunt, grandmother, godmother and friend, Karen Eileen George on December 26, 2025 at the age of 57 years.
Karen was born on March 6, 1968 in The Pas, Manitoba. She married her husband, Arnold George on November 5, 1985. She loved to bake and joke around. She loved helping others, in any way that she could.
Karen is survived by her daughters, Meagan George, Alicia (Percy) Campbell, Riva (Brian) George, Shelby (Shane) George and Saralynn (Israel) George; sons, Arnold (Samantha) George, Rodney (Arlene) George and Avery George and Eileen Nasekapow whom she raised; her grandchildren, Julius, Arnold Jr., Belle, Hallie, Rodney Jr., Ronnie, Roy Jr., Frank, Grace, Theodore, Lora, Kendra, Eleanor, Elijah, Casey, Percy, Hollie, Hadley, Winston, Hendrix, Baby Avery, Adrianna, Bryan Jr., Laraine, Larren, Jonas, Richard, Rachel, Renee, Rebecca, Joshua, Ellie, Connor, Karalynn and Tyler; sisters, Mary Jane (Leslie) Keam and Rosemarie (Derrel) Packo; brothers, Arthur (Gwen) Campbell and Glen Campbell; godchildren, Nova Lavallee, Kristy Campbell and Karena Chartrand; along with numerous other relatives.
Karen was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Ida Campbell; husband, Arnold George; grandson, Rodney George Jr.; brother, James Campbell; sisters, Matilda Lavallee and Belinda Campbell; along with many relatives and friends, too numerous to mention. If we forgot or missed anyone, it was not intentional.
You Meant So Much
You meant so much to all of us, You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day, And the cloudiest sky
Your smile alone warmed hearts, Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything, To have you well and standing near
Not a second passes, When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget, The hurt will ease in time
Many tears I have seen and cried, They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now, And no longer in any pain.

Mother
You can have one mother,
Loving, kind and true,
No other friend in all the world,
Will be so true to you.
For all her loving kindness,
She asked for nothing in return,
If all the world deserted us,
To our mother we would turn.
For those of us who have a mother,
Treasure her with care,
For you will never know her value,
Till you see that she's not there.
To hear her voice, to see her smile,
To sit and talk with her awhile,
To be together in the same old way,
Would be our dearest wish today.
Appreciation:
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the Chemawawin Chief & Council, Anderson Family Funeral Home, Shirley Lavallee, Lynette Thomas; as well as to our family, friends and community members for all your support shown to us at this difficult time.
