When Leona’s children went off to school, she returned to McGill to follow graduate studies in Speech Pathology. Upon receiving her Master’s degree, she was offered a position at the Montreal Children’s Hospital. She was environmentally conscious and lobbied forcefully for the protection of Lac-des-Sables in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts where four generations of her family loved and enjoyed special times together. An intrepid traveller, Leona planned countless annual family trips to the four corners of the globe. Upon retirement, she and Mendy embarked on challenging hiking tours including walking from Florence to Rome, and hiking in the Himalayas. Leona will be fondly remembered by all those whose lives she touched. A private funeral to take place. Contributions in her memory may be made to the “Leona Eidinger Memorial Fund” c/o the Jewish National Fund, (514) 934-0313 or visit jnf.ca/in-memory-of-leona/, or to Federation CJA, (514) 345-2645, ext. 2600.
