January 15, 1989 - January 16, 2025
Our hearts have never known such pain and our lives are forever changed. Our daughter Krista Leanne McCarthy lost her fight to recover from a medical emergency on January 16th, at Vancouver General Hospital. Krista was born on January 15 1989 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to parents Donna (Hindle) Sherman of Lakeside and James Phillip McCarthy of Hatchet Lake, Nova Scotia. Krista leaves behind her young daughter Karter Hauser, who was the center of her world, her sister Amanda McCarthy (Andrew Philpott), step-dad Terry Sherman (Mary) and many aunts, uncles and cousins in Yukon and Nova Scotia. Krista was predeceased by grandparents Bill and Pat McCarthy of Hatchet Lake and Raymond and Shirley Hindle of Lakeside, Nova Scotia. Krista was a long term employee of NorthwesTel.
