On Tuesday, July 29, 2003, with her family at her side, Eileen passed away with courage and dignity.
Mom was born in 1920 in Chinook, Alta. She lived most of her youth in Winnipeg, Man., and retained a special place in her heart for the city all of her life.
Eileen married Roy George (deceased June 6, 2001) in 1944 and he remained the love of her life for 56 years. They raised their family and lived in Regina, Shilo, and Winnipeg as a part of military life.
Eileen and Roy retired to the home they had always wanted in Fort Frances, Ont. They enjoyed 36 happy years there in the company of many excellent friends.
Mom was a caring, loving person.
She was known for her upbeat views, her smile, and cheerful personality.
Mom loved sports (especially her Goldeyes), music, playing cards with friends, and delighted in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Every event was exciting for Mom—every birthday, every ball game, every visit was as much fun for her as the first one. She brought joy and excitement into all our lives.
Eileen is survived by her daughter, Lenore (Mitch), and her two sons, Alan (Nancy) and Rob (Wendy); grandchildren, Tamiko, Kathleen (Steve), Derek, Jeff (Heidi), Greg, Matthew, and Amy; and great-grandchildren, Carson and Kaitlyn.
She was predeceased by her husband, Roy; parents, Christina and Rodger; and brother, Alan.
A funeral service will take place Saturday, Aug, 2, 2003 at 10:30 a.m. at Green’s Funeral Home in Fort Frances. Interment to follow in Fort Frances Cemetery.
The family would like to thank Dr. Prodan, Dr. Harris, and all the staff at Grace General Hospital (5th Floor), as well as members of the Palliative Care Program, for their exceptional care and compassion.
If friends wish, donations in Eileen’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook St., Winnipeg, Man., R3C 9Z9.
