Karen Ellen Hansen (Mulder)
Write a TributeKaren Ellen Hansen (Mulder), 84, passed away on October 16th, 2026, leaving behind a family who loved her dearly and will forever cherish the memories they shared with her.
Born in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Karen was an outstanding track star in her youth who later built a career as a realtor and a life filled with the things that brought her the greatest joy: her family, her beloved grandchildren, tending to her garden, and cruising to foreign countries experiencing the world.
Karen had a personality all her own and a wonderful way of making memories, including her belief that speaking a little louder with a little charades to the locals was the best way to be understood when travelling abroad. It was a little quirk that brought smiles and laughter, and one her family will remember fondly.
Above all, Karen treasured her family. Her love for her husband, sons, and grandchildren was at the heart of her life, and the memories they shared will remain close to them always.
Karen is lovingly remembered by her husband, David; her sons, Peter, Leigh (Marcia), and Todd; and her five grandchildren, Abigayle, Brendan, Camryn, David, and Erick.
She leaves behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, and love. She will be deeply missed and forever held in the hearts of those who knew and loved her

Aunt Karen was stoic right to the very end. She was Intelligent, strong, fiercely loyal to her family, independent, and determined to live life on her own terms. She was a truly formidable woman, and I deeply admired her for her strength, courage, and unwavering sense of self.

Aunt Karen is really missed and we have many great memories of her - family trips to Williams Lake/ Vernon, all her delicious cooking and baking (cheesecake , appies, Christmas baking , tasty cabbage rolls …). She always remembered our birthday with a card and lottery ticket. They visited us in Port Renfrew for many years for fishing trips with lots of good food and wine.
Karen loved her family , a good cup of tea, a Starbucks latte/pumpkin loaf and COBS bread - especially the apricot loaf.
She will be missed but always remembered. Mom (Maureen Covey ) misses her sister too.
