Natoisksahkomma’Ki (Holy Land Woman)

April 30, 2024 – Calgary, Alberta

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden yet peaceful passing of our beloved Karlee Cecilia Lauren (Natoisksahkomma’ki) Wolfleg on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. Karlee has peacefully transitioned to the radiant spirit world, reuniting with her mother Fran Wolfleg, her cherished baby girl Tahlia (Apanii-Butterfly) Precious Rosie Wolfleg, and her faithful feline companion Finn, embraced by the eternal presence of our father, The Creator, alongside our ancestors.

Karlee graced this world as a beacon of love and warmth, touching the lives of all who knew her. As a devoted daughter, mother, sister, aunt, cousin, partner, and friend, her absence will be deeply felt. Karlee's spirit, characterized by boundless kindness and infectious laughter, will forever be remembered. She found solace in music, and treasured her parents, her partner of eight years Lucas, and her beloved fur baby Finn. Karlee's greatest joy was motherhood, cherishing every moment with her precious daughter Tahlia (Apanii).

Left to cherish her memory are her father Clarence Agar Wolfleg, her siblings, Skip, Scott, and Antonia Wolfleg, Tanya Sleigh, Christopher Eagle Rib, and Renalda Yellow Old Woman; her traditional adopted sister Jordan Big Plume, and her devoted partner Lucas Brandon. Karlee also leaves behind a legacy of love in her adored nieces and nephews, River, Summer, Jadon, Harlyn, Diamond, King, Late B.J., Alkiah, Kai Matthew, Michellaine, Tonishaye, Chaz, Izehiabon, Amiede, Obehi, Tiahna, Cyprus, Tyniva, Oriana, Rhythm, Laney, Shade, Kiyahkii, Piita, Jovian, and Zas; as well as her two great nephews, Nahuel and Nayel.

Karlee is also survived by her loving aunties and uncles, Alvine (Norton) Eagle Speaker, Colleen Sitting Eagle, June Wolfleg, Madeline Wolfleg, Rosaria Wolfleg, Arlene Many Guns, Laura and Gerald Sitting Eagle, Allan Wolfleg, Francis “Butch” Wolfleg, Scotty (Wanda) Many Guns, Aaron (Dale) Many Guns, George (Collette) Many Guns, Dean (Rowena) Many Guns, and Kelly Many Guns. She will also be mourned by her granny Christine Little Chief and her godson Kiaayo Hoof. Karlee is additionally survived by her extended families of Wolfleg, Little Chief, Many Guns, Many Bears, and all our relations and friends who held her dear.

Karlee was preceded in death by her beloved daughter Tahlia, her mother Fran, her grandparents, Mark and Mary Margaret Wolfleg Sr., Matthew and Cecile Many Guns; her aunties and uncles, Mervin Wolfleg, Mark Wolfleg Jr., Sheila Running Rabbit, Darlene Scout, and Bonnie Wolfleg, as well as numerous cousins and friends who embarked on their spiritual journey before her.
