Eileen will be sadly missed by her Children Richard of Northern Ontario, Jack of Simcoe, Raymond of Simcoe, George (Lisa) of Port Dover, Murray of London, Dianne of Simcoe. Darlene (John) White of Simcoe, Kathy (Ross) Tisdale of Port Dover, Cindy (Cameron) O’Brien of Port Dover and Norma (Randy) Schram of Vittoria. Grandmother to numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren all of whom she loved dearly. She leaves behind her sisters Alberta, Betty and Margaret as well as her loving nephew Danny (Ann).

Eileen found her greatest joy in the love of her large family, cherishing every moment spent as a devoted wife and a proud, caring mother. She had a special way of keeping her husband Harry gently in line. Their bond and love for each other was felt by anyone who knew them. Eileen also found happiness in the kitchen, where her cooking brought connection, and countless cherished memories to those gathered around her table.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Norfolk General Hospital on 3B, 3E and 4^th floor for all of the care and kindness they showed to their mother.
