Karen Dykstra Obituary, Death – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Karen Dykstra, one of our most dedicated and cherished volunteers. Karen’s departure on Friday, September 1st, has left a void in our organization that can never truly be filled. Karen was a remarkable individual who had a profound impact on our shelter and the lives of countless animals.

Her unwavering love for cats was evident to anyone who crossed her path. She spent countless hours comforting and caring for the cats in our shelter, providing them with the love and attention they so desperately needed. Karen’s own home was a haven for two lucky felines, Lucy and Bert, whom she had adopted and showered with affection. But Karen’s compassion didn’t stop with cats. She also dedicated herself to becoming a skilled dog walker, taking on the challenge of caring for our “blue dot” dogs, who required a higher level of experience and understanding. Her patience and empathy made her a natural with these dogs, and they flourished under her care.

Beyond her work with animals, Karen was an advocate for nature. Her home served as a sanctuary for wildlife year-round, and she took great pride in creating a welcoming habitat for local fauna. Her commitment to the environment and its inhabitants was inspiring. Karen’s warm-hearted nature and tireless dedication touched the lives of everyone she encountered.

She was not just a volunteer but a friend, a mentor, and a source of inspiration to those who had the privilege of knowing her and working alongside her. As we mourn the loss of Karen, we also celebrate the incredible impact she had on our organization and the broader community. We are grateful to have had her as a part of our family and extend our deepest condolences to her friends and family during this difficult time. Karen’s memory will forever live on in the love and kindness she shared with the animals and people she touched.
