Kenneth “Ken” KarisAllen passed away on September 12, 2025, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, at the age of 66. While unexpected, his passing was peaceful, and the family sincerely thanks the medical team at the QEII for their dedication and compassion during that difficult time.

 

Ken was born on October 15, 1958, in Kentville, Nova Scotia, to James Allen and the late Marjorie Allen (Bauckman).

 

He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Danyelle KarisAllen, daughter Laura KarisAllen (Zachary Knox), daughter Tasia KarisAllen (Trevor Kordyban), and son Jason KarisAllen (Imogen Allen-Rice). His grandchildren were a true blessing in life: Amelia, Adeline, and Evren, and his newly welcomed grandson, James. He is also survived by his sister Vicki AllenCook (Murray Cook), sister Beverley Allen-Cook (Derek Cook), brother Father Stephen Allen (Tracey Allen), brother Michael Allen, and many nieces and nephews.

 

A life well-lived is one spent doing what you love, with those you love. Ken took particular pride in his work as a metallurgical engineer, co-founding Wayland Engineering and FACTS Engineering. While a self-confessed workaholic, he wouldn’t hesitate to drop everything for his family. Ken loved to build, including his own home and then renovating his son’s in recent years. He could easily master any skill, like playing a 12-string guitar, earning his pilot’s license, and walking on his hands. Although Ken never quite mastered the dance floor, his special moves will be missed at every family occasion. His daily pieces of bacon for his dogs, Charlie and Josie, will also be missed.

 

Ken was never one to brag about himself, but he would be the first to brag about those he loved, especially his kids. His fierce loyalty, intelligence, and stubbornness live on through them and future generations, who will miss him every day.

 

If a life well-lived is to be loved, then he surely died content, knowing his family was with him. Ken passed away surrounded by his wife, kids, daughter-in-law, grandson, and sisters, singing his favourite song, Dreamweaver.

 

“I've just closed my eyes again

Climbed aboard the Dream Weaver train

Driver, take away my worries of today

And leave tomorrow behind.”

• Dreamweaver, Gary Wright

 

A celebration of life will take place for family and friends on Saturday, September 20, from 12:00pm to 5:00pm at the KarisAllen residence. Full details can be found at the link: https://www.paperlesspost.com/go/KA3yqGLi3qJZQWhxp4yLG

Cynthia Ann Windsor, beloved wife of 32 years to the late Andrew Gilbert Windsor, beloved Mother to Shawn (Christine), Sharilyn, and Tobias (Breanna), and proud Nana to Nikki, Ashley, Jason, Charlotte, Emelia and Adelynn, beloved daughter to Janet and the late Winston Smith, beloved sister to Cathy, Ken (Karen), the late Irwin, Mary Lynn, Sue (Glen) and Kelly (Mikaela), and aunt to numerous nieces and nephews, died after an intense yet short battle with cancer on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at the Provincial Palliative Care Centre.

 

Our family would like to send a special gesture of gratitude to all of the angels at the Centre - it is not how any of us wanted to see our Cynthia, but how you cared for her like she was your own Mother is a blessing that we cannot thank you enough for.

 

Cynthia was a vivacious woman - full of love, life, wonder, and curiosity - her kindness and ability to connect with people and make everyone smile was second to none. Cynthia started her adult life before she was an adult herself. Cynthia created a loving home and environment, was incredibly driven taking on a career in finance and persevering through thick and thin to do whatever it took to keep her family together.

 

Kind, brave and uncomplaining to the end, full of love and funny, full of appreciation to her caregivers to her last moments, she will be greatly missed by her beloved island community that she loved and was central to in a sublimely understated way.

 

Cynthia married the love of her life in July 1985. It is a love story worth sharing - Cynthia and Andrew shared a love that is not common. When Andrew died in 2017, Cynthia was devastated. She carried on living the best life she could, surrounded by her family in the place she was born and the place she wanted to pass. She never stopped grieving and missed him immensely. There is no coincidence that Cynthia prolonged her struggle so she could pass on to her next adventure reconnecting with Andrew. She passed on the very day Andrew passed, 8 years earlier, within a half hour of the time Andrew passed. The very last thing Cynthia ever did had every one of her family members in mind. She reinforced the idea that there is something more. She gave us a crazy story to tell, and it will very likely have the people who hear it questioning or reaffirming their own beliefs. We aren't talking about how sick she was. We aren't talking about how hard it was. We're talking about how she took control of her own destiny right at the very end and left on her own terms.

 

Thank you Cynthia, from your Mother, your Father who rests in peace, your siblings, your children, your grandchildren and your friends. You are truly the most special person and will be painfully missed by all of us.

 

Thank you also to St. Andrew’s Church, where Cynthia worked and took the most pride in supporting her community and her friends. Your kindness helped all of us deal with the shock of losing the most beautiful woman way too soon.

 

Cynthia never was home without the music on - here is a quote that will make us all cry, and smile and long to see her beautiful green eyes and contagious smile.

 

“Cynthia, won’t you take me too,

Pyramid Lake with you,

We could watch the spaceships,

Maybe they’d take us on a trip,

Into that never ending sky,

Into the wide and endless nite”.

 

Until we see you again dear Cyn. Rest in peace here where we honour you. But in your new adventure, we want you to feel the afterglow and shine! You meant so much to so many people. Thank you. Dance in the clouds. The best is yet to come. See you when we see you.

 

Resting at MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. Cynthia’s funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. from St. Andrew’s United Church. For those wishing to attend virtually, the service will be live-streamed at https://www.Facebook.com/standrewsvernonbridge Interment in St. Andrew’s Church Cemetery.
