The victim of a fatal helicopter crash in Campbell River is being remembered as a caring and devoted mother.
“She was an amazing person… her son was her whole life,” said Roger Jamieson.
Jamieson was a friend of Karen Coulter, a 46-year-old woman from Nanaimo who died in a helicopter crash near the Campbell River airport on Oct. 1.
Coulter was a pilot and a single mom who left behind one son.
“She’s so caring and so giving, always happy and always upbeat,” Jamieson said.
A pilot himself, Jamieson has started an online trust fund for Coulter’s son through a GoFundMe page.
He said hopefully her son could use it for anything he might need, including an education.
As of Oct. 10, the fund had raised more than $20,000.
Coulter was one of two pilots in the helicopter when it went down, the second pilot survived.
