LELIEVRE, Karen Lorraine Lelievre

Peacefully at home on Saturday, May 3, 2025, Karen Lorraine Lelievre passed away at the age of 56. Beloved wife of Andrew Lelievre and proud mother of Austin, Melissa, and the late Nicholas.

Karen was the cherished daughter of Judy Gale, dear sister of Kevin Craig, and predeceased by her sister Tara.

A graduate of Clarke Road Secondary School, where she starred as Sandy in *Grease*, Karen earned her degree from Western University (Huron College). Her lifelong friendships brought her joy throughout the years.

Karen loved her first job at Wendy’s, eventually becoming an entrepreneur by owning and operating a Sunoco franchise. She later thrived in sales with Bell Canada and FloorSource, admired for her warmth and customer care.

A gifted performer, Karen graced the stage with her beautiful singing voice in community theatre productions with the Strathroy Community Players and Port Stanley Summer Theatre. She loved roller skating and Caribbean cruises shared with loved ones.

Karen’s life was grounded in faith, family, and kindness. Her smile, resilience, and prayers anchored her through challenges. Her last bucket list wish was to reach heaven—and now, she is with Jesus.
