November 30, 1946 – April 27, 2025

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Karen Jess at Royal University Hospital at the age of 78. She was predeceased by her husband Ronald Jess, her parents Paul and Helen Kerpan, her parents-in-law Bernard and Wilma Jess, her brother Darryl Kerpan and her niece Danielle Kerpan. She leaves behind her 4 children: Kevin (Pam) Jess, Bradley Jess, Coralee (Kevin) Vollmer and Loretta (Mark Anderson) as well as 8 grandkids, 6 great-grandkids and many nieces and nephews. Karen loved to farm, plant a garden, grow some flowers, talk on the phone to neighbours and friends and play cards. Karen and Wayne moved to Saskatoon so mom could be closer to her dialysis that she did at the Renal Centre where she gained a second family. A special thank-you to the staff and doctors at the Renal Centre and St. Paul’s Hospital for all the care Karen received over the years.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Karen’s memory may be made to St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation, Renal Centre, in Saskatoon, Sask. A family service for Karen will be held at a later date. Hanson’s Funeral Service of Davidson in care of arrangements.
