Eileen passed away peacefully at her home in Armstrong, BC, in her 99th year. Born in Burnley, Lancashire, England, she served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, and immigrated to Canada along with her husband Arthur and two children Barry and Kevin in 1953 settling in Sidney and later Victoria.
Eileen is loved and remembered by her two sons Barry (Alice) and Kevin (Sharon).
Eileen will be dearly missed by her grandchildren; Scott, Keith, Kareen, Andrew, James (Pamela), Stephen (Caleigh), Daniel, David, Joel, Mark, Susanna, and by her great grandchildren; Ian, Jasmine, Harry, Gideon and Barnabas.
She is predeceased by her husband Arthur, and her middle son Terence who died in infancy, her sister Doris and husband Abe, her brother Richard and his wife Kathleen. She leaves behind dear nephews and nieces and other extended family members in England.
Our earthly loss is heaven’s gain. We will always remember her sense of humour and wit along with her independent spirit.
Her memorial service will be held Sunday Oct. 4, 2015, at 3.00 pm at the Crossroads Free Methodist Church in Salmon Arm, BC. Memorial gifts may be made to the ICCM ( International Childcare Ministries) at: 4315 Village Center Court, Mississauga, On. L4Z 1S2
