In Loving Memory of Karen Copeland "Dubby"...

Obituary

It is with extreme sadness and ultimate relief that we write to let you know that Karen Copeland (Dubby) died at 12:45pm on 14th December 2015 at the Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital, Palliative Care Unit in Ottawa.  Judy F was with her through her six week journey and there as she departed for her next adventure.  As you all will know, Karen had many goals.  She reached a major one on Tuesday 8th December when she celebrated her 70th Birthday.  On that day, strong medication began to work and she was relieved of the extreme pain from liver cancer she had endured during the previous two or three weeks.  She is now free of "the shell" that had so let her down and free from her intense pain.  Never for the faint of heart is this final process.  
                             
            The next "Karen Mission" must now be addressed. 

On behalf of Karen, we urge all who advocate for CCSVI, Lyme and the many injustices that Karen fought for and against, to add one more fight to your list.  For everyone who believes, as Karen did, that the right to Die with Dignity is a decision that should be made by an individual, not the Government, please make every effort to support a person's right to choose how and when to die.  As it is an ongoing discussion in Canada, please let your voice be heard and follow Karen in this cause to bring this law into force with no restrictions if it is an individual's wish.  Karen would encourage all who agree to get behind this movement and to fight for this right in Canada.  Karen did not have time to follow through with this, but so many of us left behind do.
                                                      
                                                                         One last message from Karen!  
                                                        Never lose your sense of humour and your wit.

Born: September 26, 1927 in Vanvcouver, BC

Passed: December 2, 2015 in Ottawa, ON

Obituary:
Frederick Roy Lipsett was born in Vancouver to a family of ship chandlers and collectors. His early life was marked by a youthful passion for music. Just before the outbreak of World War II, he was in England with the Kitsilano Boys’ Band. Later in life, he was well known in the neighborhood because, unlike the other dads, he called his children home for dinner with a trumpet call. He was not able to serve in the army because of his terrible eyesight but he threw himself into his other passion: physics. After the war, Fred went to London to pursue a doctorate at the Royal Institution. There he met Elizabeth Visser who was travelling and working in Europe. Their first date was the Coronation ball. They both returned to their home countries but Fred could not forget Elizabeth; he sent her a letter proposing marriage. After a long boat trip and a few months of acclimatization, they married—a union that lasted almost sixty years. They had two daughters: Margot and Sonya. Their grandson Jason (José) was a wonderful addition to the family and often helped Fred with technology. Fred had a long and successful career at the National Research Council culminating with an experiment that was chosen to go up on the Space Shuttle. He also pursued his love of music, playing the alto first in amateur orchestras, then as his eyesight failed due to glaucoma, chamber music and then just for himself. He combined his love of science and music by exploring acoustics and then the new violin family. He did not let his increasing blindness stop him; he walked, took buses and was very independent until his body began to fail. Until the end, he loved to have a glass of wine, a nice meal and good conversation. He was unfailingly cheerful and always kind. He died peacefully, with the CBC in the background playing Carmina Burana.
