<div>Asking the family, friends and public for their support to continue Karen Tessier's search efforts &amp; continued awareness on her disappearance. Since July 10, 2024, Karen’s parents, Elizabeth and Ralph Tessier, have poured their hearts, time, and financial resources into searching for their beloved daughter. This journey has placed an immense financial strain on them. After over 50 years of service to the Fort Nelson Community, they had hoped to enjoy their retirement, but instead, they have invested their retirement savings into search efforts and raising awareness for Karen’s case.

<div>Karen was a beautiful soul who touched the hearts of everyone she met. She was born on November 29, 1967, in Fort Nelson General Hospital, to Elizabeth Burke and Ralph Tessier. Known for her adventurous spirit, infectious laugh, and unwavering dedication to her family, Karen was a loving daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From fixing motors with her dad to competing as Rodeo Queen, Karen’s zest for life and resilience inspired everyone around her. She had a special bond with her dog Soma, who misses her dearly and often retreats to her room. Karen’s life was full of love, laughter, and moments of joy that her family will always cherish.

<div>We asked the Fort Nelson Community to come together and invite the public that didn't know Karen from far and wide to come together and support these efforts ~ This is about community, helping a completed stranger, about compassion, and bringing a loved one home.
