Eileen was a loving and caring woman to all who knew her and greeted everyone with a smile
and a hug. She was well known for her love of cards; especially a good game of 120s, her
passion for quilting and knitting and not to mention her famous raisin buns that were savored by
everyone lucky enough to taste one. Family was extremely important to her and she never missed
a birthday or anniversary with a card and phone call.
Special thanks going to Lions Manor unit 3 and unit 1 staff.
