WALCH (STEWART), Karla Elizabeth
Peacefully on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at Victoria Hospital, London, Karla passed away in her 54th year. Beloved daughter of Michael. Loving sister of Heather Stanley. Dear aunt of Sarah, Josh (Bethany) and Leah Stanley. Karla will be missed by the Bogart-Wallace, Hyde, and Winter families. She will be dearly remembered by her lifelong friend Becky Strong. Karla will be dearly missed by her feline companion Ollie. Predeceased by her mother Jean, stepmother Betty and brother-in-law Steve.
With a heart as vibrant as the melodies she cherished and a spirit as lively as the gaming worlds she explored, Karla brought joy and camaraderie to both the online gaming community and those who shared her love for music.
Cremation has taken place. A private family interment will take place at a later date. Karla’s family would like to express their appreciation and gratefulness to the staff at LHSC University Hospital (ER and 2nd floor) and Victoria Hospital (Cancer Clinic and Acute Medicine) for their care of Karla over the last several weeks.

Kar,
You were such a light in dark times, a friend who never failed to listen to anyone who came your way. You will be greatly missed by many people. Fly high and pain free, friend.
My condolences to the family and friends of Karla. I met Karla through the gaming community and we became fast friends. She was always there for me if I needed someone to talk to or to play some games with. Any time that I spent with Karla was a fun time. We would laugh and joke. She always was in a good mood. It seemed like nothing could dampen her spirits. She was a wonderful person and it’s a devastating loss to everyone who has ever come into contact with her.
May her soul rest in peace.
There was simply NO ONE like Karla. Fact. The world has been diminished by her passing. While I have never met her personally but only virtually, she was an incredible friend, that I will miss terribly. May she be attending Heaven’s most epic concert for the rest of eternity.
Mike, Heather and family,
Our deepest condolences in your loss of your dear daughter, sister and aunt Karla.
Know you are upheld in prayer, Nick & Lorraine
I am deeply saddened by the news of Karla’s passing. She was an amazing cousin, always laughing and joking enjoying life to its fullest. I remember the times I would stay in London over the summer with the family, Uncle Mike, Aunt Jean, Heather and Karla. They were always so welcoming and you could never miss the love and caring they had. Those were very special times. I hope you enjoyed the Star Wars wall paper I picked for your bedroom when we were kids!
You will always have a special place in my heart Karla and you will never be forgotten.
Your Cousin David Hyde
I am so saddened to find this out. Although we have been estranged for several years she was one of my best friends and I loved her dearly. I am also so sorry for your loss. She was such a joyful beautiful person who was so generous and thoughtful. My heart is breaking
