KURMANN: Karen Ruth (Graham) passed away February 18 at age 39 after a valiant battle with cancer. Karen is survived by her beloved sons, Dylan Kurmann, age 8 and Cody Greiner, age 3, her dad Murray and stepmom Janet Graham and mother Sharon Graham. She also leaves her sister Megan Graham and sister-in-spirit Connie Bartley, and three brothers, James and Dale Graham and Chris Turner, as well as her much loved aunts and uncle Marilyn and Jerry Ross and Margaret Pople. Karen will also be missed by many other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Karen worked for Veterans Affairs for many years, where she loved the opportunity to work alongside many exceptional coworkers to help our service men and women. Karen’s main goal in life was to be a good mother and took great satisfaction in fulfilling that role. As Karen’s greatest enjoyment was to spend time with her family and friends, a celebration of her life will be held at Seniors For Seniors, 311 Park Avenue East on Sunday, February 27 beginning at 2:00 pm. Friends are encouraged to share stories and memories of Karen at the gathering. Flowers are gratefully declined. Friends who so wish may make a donation in memory of Karen to Brandon Regional Health Centre Foundation for Westman Manitoba Cancer Care Project, 150 McTavish Avenue East, Brandon, Manitoba, R7A 2B3.
