Matheson, Eileen Ella – 95, of Truro, died peacefully at Wynn
Park Villa on Thursday, September 16, 2021. Born in Denmark, Nova
Scotia, she was the eldest daughter of the late Emma Elizabeth
(Cameron) and Dewitt Alexander MacLeod.
Eileen is survived by her daughter, Susan (Paul Judice) and
granddaughter, Claire Judice. She enjoyed a special bond with her
niece, Kathy (Mingo) Tattrie and adored all her nephews and nieces,
Ricky and Scott Mingo; Rita, David, Brenton and Jason MacLeod; Gary
and Brian Matheson.
Eileen was predeceased by her husband, George; daughter,
Kimberly Jane; sister, Lorraine (Mingo) and brothers, Aulden and
Harlan MacLeod.
Eileen was blessed with a loving family and an idyllic
childhood spent between a Nova Scotia farm and summer downtime at the
Brule beach cottage. She cherished her family and friends and
maintained close ties with her sister, brothers, family and friends
throughout her life.
She studied secretarial skills at the Provincial Normal
School in Truro. After graduation, and with an ever-present
adventurous outlook, she moved to Toronto, where she worked at the
head office of Boy Scouts of Canada until her daughter was born.
Eileen was a member of Trinity United Church in Onslow and sang in the
choir for many years. She was artistic and loved to crochet, knit and
quilt. Although she loved to travel, she was never happier than when
she was home in Nova Scotia – a proud ‘Bluenoser’ until the
end. Her warm sense of humor, welcoming and generous bright spirit
will be deeply missed.
Interment will be 10:30 am Friday, September 24, 2021 in
