Parcourez la nécrologie de Eileen Michelle Power 1944 2024 résidant dans la province Nova Scotia pour le détail des funérailles
On Wednesday afternoon, June 19th,
2024, with her two children by her side, Eileen Michelle Power passed
away at St. Matha’s Hospital in Antigonish.
Born on September 28th, 1944, the
youngest of nine children, to Hattie (LeBlanc) and James Purcell.
Eileen is predeceased by sisters, Jean Morrow, Genevieve
O’Connoll, Helen DeCoste; brothers, Collin Purcell, Mel
Purcell, Jimmy Purcell, Gerald Purcell (in infancy).
Eileen finished her high school education in Mabou and also
completed secretarial training which she applied in Sydney prior to
her marriage. Eileen married Fabian Michael Power [pre-deceased, April
2013] in 1966, when she returned to Mulgrave.
A source of enjoyment for Eileen included reminiscing at
family get togethers, the «spirited» Saturday night card
games with the usual suspects at the house, the weekend dances, and of
course the after «dance» party that lasted until the sun
came up.
Eileen loved making people smile and having a good laugh,
preferably over a good meal and a cup of tea.
An active community member in Mulgrave where she grew up and
resided until the mid 1990’s, Eileen’s love of
involvement saw her as an active participant in Theatre Antigonish and
many volunteer organizations. Always making time for everyone, her
sense of fun and ability to tell a great story and relive the best of
times made her beloved by family and friends alike. How she loved to
talk and get to know everyone she met. She was an artist and musician.
Close your eyes and you can picture her at the piano pounding out the
latest rock and roll. And if you are lucky, you may have one of her
paintings or ceramic art pieces.
Eileen is survived by her daughter Faye Power, her son Todd
Power [spouse, Lori] and two grandson’s
Garrett and Mackenzie [spouse Unity], as well as
surviving elder brother, Leo Purcell and special friend Elwin
MacPherson. Celebrating a life well lived will be the many nieces and
nephews for which Eileen was a significant part of their lives. You
are many and if she were here, she’d recount each one of you
in detail—the day you were born, all the good times and
laughter shared with you and perhaps a few stories you wished
she’d forgotten but she remembered because you were so very
dear and important to her.
Eileen’s family would like to extend their
heartfelt gratitude to Jeannine Munro for her continued care, support,
and kindness. A special thank you for all of her caregivers over the
years.
Visitation will be held in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135
College Street Antigonish on Tuesday, June 25th
from 7-9pm and in the Mulgrave and Area Resting Place Wednesday, June
26th from 7-9pm. Funeral Mass will be held in
St. Lawrence Church in Mulgrave at 11am on Thursday, June
27th with Father Allan MacPhie officiating.
Burial in the parish cemetery.
Eileen will be remembered by all fortunate enough to know her
and mostly by those who loved her best.
