She worked alongside her husband Guy VanAmburg running their motel “The Flying Dutchman” in Bridgewater N.S. and “The Flying Dutchman” restaurant in Tusket, Yarmouth County. She had a 14-year battle with cancer and after enduring many operations she still had great optimism and kept her spirits high right until the end. Karin loved to spend time with her husband outdoors and was always happy to accompany him sailing or canoeing. During the past few years she enjoyed jigsaw puzzles and crosswords. She is survived by her husband Guy VanAmburg; daughter, Angela VanAmburg, Halifax; son, Andre VanAmburg, Dartmouth; sister, Janice (Victor) Reede, Pubnico; grandchildren, Edie, Ainslee, Clair, Kaelan; and many nieces nephews and friends.
