It is with great sadness we announce the
passing of Eileen Phyllis Gertrude
Johnstone, age 92, of Sackville, NB. She died
peacefully at the Drew Nursing Home on Tuesday, October 22, 2019, and
is now in the presence of her Lord and Saviour.
Eileen, the daughter of the late James

youngest of 10 children. She spent some time in the Canadian
Woman’s Army Corps before she married, George, her husband
of 58 years. Together they raised 6 boys in Sackville, NB.
Eileen was an active member of Main Street Baptist Church
and having a passion for missions, she often hosted missionaries in
her home. She was a gracious servant who loved her Lord and Saviour
with faith being prominent in her daily living. She was a
devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister,
aunt and a friend to many. Eileen loved to do puzzles and play games
with her family and friends. She loved her cup of tea and was always
ready to welcome you into her home for a visit.

(Faye), Abbotsford, BC, and Stephen, Sackville, NB; 12 grandchildren;
