She met Georg Svendsen when visiting her sister in the Canwood area. They were married on April 23, 1943 in Winnipeg where he was stationed before being sent overseas in WWII. They settled in the Nestledown area, north of Canwood and farmed for many years before retiring to Lake Cowichan, BC. Georg passed away in March of 2000. Karla enjoyed knitting, crocheting, camping, fishing, golfing and berry picking.
Karla will be sadly missed by her 9 children – Alfred (Helen), Robert (Carol), David, Roland (Monica), Carole (Larry) Peterson, Wendy, Ivan (Marylie), Karen (Tom) Lloyd and Colin (Shelly); 16 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, and one sister, AlmaStewart.
