It is with great sadness that the family of Audrey Karpoff announce her sudden passing on Friday, July 21, 2017 with her family by her side. Audrey showed courage and determination in her short battle with cancer, and continued to be concerned about the wellbeing of those around her to her last day.
In her 10 years in Kamloops, Audrey made numerous friends in every corner of the City; from the Kamloops Newcomers group, her weekly Mahjong games, visits to the Opera, several book clubs, attending the gym and determination to join the therapy dog program (despite being afraid of dogs).
She kept in regular contact with friends from her previous homes in White Rock, Ste. Adele, Senneville, Toronto, Vancouver and Abbotsford; always ready for a road-trip to visit or have a delicious meal together.Read More & Leave Condolences »
