She will be loved and missed by many nieces and nephews. She will be remembered by very dear friends and neighbors in South Cayuga Village and many treasured friends and colleagues throughout her dedicated career as a personal support worker at Grandview Lodge and home care nurse.Many summers were spent sunning and swimming in the backyard of their home in South Cayuga, that was built with love. She also absolutely loved to roam around the area in her favorite fire red Fiero sports car named Fido with her beloved dog Midnight, who would frequently take off on the sidewalk on an ice cream mission to the South Cayuga Store when Pat would give her a generous scoop of ice cream, then call Eileen and say “are you missing someone” and send Midnight on her way home. Such wonderful, unforgettable sweet memories.
Eileen courageously fought many illnesses over her lifetime and has now earned her peaceful slumber, free of pain. Her family would like to thank Dr. Kobah and staff, the very caring, compassionate nurses at Dunnville Hospital for their care of a wife and mother during her last moments on Earth. Soar high mom, til we meet again. Love you always and forever remembered.
Cremation has taken place and as per Eileen’s request, a private burial will take place. A celebration of Life will be announced later for extended family and friends in the spring, when the flowers are starting to bloom and the air is returning to warmth. In lieu of flowers and Eileen’s wishes, donations can be made to the Dunnville Hospital and Healthcare Foundation.
