KAREN MICHELE LEYLAND

It is with great sorrow that we have to announce the passing of our dearly beloved Karen who passed away on Tuesday September 6, 2016 at Sunnybrook hospital at the age of 43. Loving daughter of Peter and Janet Leyland, beloved sister of Sue and brother in law John, devoted aunt of Rachel and Dylan.

Karen was a gifted and creative young woman who was able to utilize her talents in her marketing/communications career and her personal life. Karen loved dogs and had two that she lovingly cared for. Karen had an eye for coordinating colours for decor and was an expert in making flower arrangements in a professional capacity. Karen will be greatly missed by all who knew her, and fondly remembered by those whose lives she touched.
