Abbey was an irreplaceable part of so many of our lives. We will forever have fond memories of her and how she touched the world and added warmth at every turn. She gave so much to everyone while often handling intense health issues. The twinkle in her eye as she laughed with genuine joy warmed our hearts and renewed our souls. Her sense of humor was honest and kind; it lacked both malice and sarcasm and this is something we should all aspire to.
She wanted nothing more than to care for people and be cared for. Just watching her interact with children, the most innocent and fragile of us, reaffirmed your belief in love and humanity. If you were lucky enough to be on the list of people she cared for the most, you know the anticipation and delight of the birthday cards she caringly found, curated, and delivered.
You will be missed Abbey and, while the world will continue to turn, it will be a dimmer place without you. The only solace we have is that your pain and suffering are no more. We will try to take forward the pieces of you that we hold dearest and bring them to others in your name.
Abbey is survived by so many but her children, Summer, Scarlett and Sawyer, were her joy.
A Celebration of Abbey's Life will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2825 - 32 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, March 5, 2022 at 4:00 P.M. with Ryan Sato officiating. The service will be livestreamed and may be accessed via Abbey's obituary on the Cornerstone website.

Abbey, a day hasn't passed since you left us that I haven't thought about you. I drive past your house everyday and talk about you with Indie, Carthew, Nali and Ella. We look for signs, often a light will flicker and I'll say that was Abbey. We all miss you and are so grateful for you and your love.
Abbey was such an incredible light in the world. I looked up to her so much the summers that I got to spend as a teenager with her and her family in Summerland. Her joy for life was infectious and so beautiful. My heart is with all her family - she will be dearly missed, and never forgotten.
My heart goes out to the Kawulka family. My sincere condolences to Karen & Ivan, there is not much greater pain than losing a child. You are in my thoughts.

I'm deeply saddened by this news, and extend my heartfelt condolences to Abbey's family. I'd known her for about 20 years, from her university days as one of my students, to working on research for me one summer, to connecting on a more equal footing as parents of kids who were often in the same classes. She was a delightful human being with a passion for helping children. She will be missed.
I am so sorry for your loss... Summer, Scarlett, and Sawyer, your mom will always be with you... watch for the signs whenever you need her, and they will be there. Sending love from Nova Scotia

You are one of the very best Abbey; stepping in when we didn't even know we needed you, because you knew. Your smile lit up the room, and your laughter was contagious. Festival will never be the same without you; the studio will never be the same without you; get togethers will never be the same without you. I hope you are at peace, and have finally found relief from all your pain. ?
