She was known for her butter tarts and had a bucket of them ready for Christmas for some of her special people.

Eileen loved doing crafts of all kinds and enjoyed sharing them with her family and friends. Her passion though was quilting and she was a member of the Kalum Kwilters who have done quilts for Mills Memorial Hospital, Terraceview, the Child Development Center and other charities to raffle off at fund raisers or use at their institution. They also made chemo hats for the cancer patients at MMH (and the surgeons), curtains and quilts for the labor rooms.

Eileen appreciated the wonderful care she received from her Doctors and the other Medical staff whether it was at the doctor’s office or the hospital. She thought they were all just great.

Eileen will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all those whose lives she touched. A memorial service was held on Sept. 16th at MacKay’s Funeral Home officiated by Charles Meek. A reception was provided and hosted by George and Gail Munson at the Northern Motor Inn - A special thanks from the family for the wonderful meal.

The family would like to thank all the friends who attended the service. Eileen would have been pleased.

“Before you go to sleep tonight look up in the sky and you will see a star

that wasn’t there before...It’s Eileen”
