OBITUARY

Dorothy Karen Hirst

12 December, 1958 – 24 April, 2024
IN THE CARE OF

Ocean View Funeral Home & Burial Park

We regretfully announce the peaceful passing of Karen Hirst on April 24th, 2024, in Vancouver, at the age of 65. A Sagittarius through and through, Karen faced life’s battles with courage and grace.

Karen’s selflessness and compassion were evident in her readiness to assist anyone in need. Her culinary talents and refined taste were unparalleled, and her perfectionism was evident in every aspect of her life. She was thrifty, opinionated, kind, organized, and incredibly resourceful.

A dedicated employee, Karen relished complicated problems, approaching them with a unique blend of dedication and enthusiasm.

She leaves behind her loving husband, Donald Prince, and a legacy of love and resilience that will forever be remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing her.

A ceremony to celebrate Karen’s life will be held at Ocean View Funeral Home & Burial Park in Burnaby, BC, on May 5th, 2024, at 4 PM. A luncheon will be served at 6pm. Please RSVP.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Karen’s memory may be made to BC Children’s Hospital.

We invite friends and family to join us in remembering Karen and the indelible mark she left on our hearts.
