Obituary for Eleanor Prendergast
Eleanor Prendergast, formerly of Summer Hill, St. Lukes, Cork City passed away on June 2 2020 Tuesday at Oshawa Hospital in Ontario, Canada. She was aged 67y/o. Daughter of Peter and Nora Prendergast, niece of David Prendergast. She leaves behind her son Robin McGilp, his wife Loretta and her incredible grandchildren Liam and Evan. Also her significant other Pat, her brothers Michael and Peter, and her sister Catherine. We have lost an amazing gutsy, creative and spirited person. A woman who had a very challenging and difficult life throughout. To say Eleanor was a « survivor » cannot begin to capture her spirit. A mother who was incredibly proud of her son Robin, he is a Toronto Police Officer whose dedication, passion, decency and his capacity to love and parent brought Eleanor much joy. Pat, her significant other, “her rock”, cared deeply for her and he was always there for her. She also leaves behind Bear, her dog and Tom Dooley, her cat. Eleanor lived on for almost 2 years after a serious illness in July 2018. She was negative for Covid at the time of death but unfortunately she endured the Covid restrictions.
Eleanor cared deeply for the earth, animals, our climate, the inherent worth and dignity of every living thing. She was artistic, she made her own clothes, she recycled to the point of crazy. She loved music and had many interests and made friends wherever she found herself. She was witty and sarcastic. She never stopped apologizing for herself as if she wasn’t enough or OK. She was more than enough. She was a decent, loving, caring human being and she will be missed so much and never forgotten. She cared deeply for her brothers Michael and Peter. She cared deeply for what is happening in the world and just about her last words were: « I am afraid my heart can’t take it ».
We Love You Eleanor
