Eileen Armour Bruyere

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Eileen Armour Bruyere (Holt) on Thursday November 5, 2026. She leaves behind her husband Larry Bruyere, her sons Brian (Donna) Holt, Douglas Holt and her daughters Sharon (Rob) Johnston, Sheila (Steve) Selman, and Denise (Brad) Bath. Eileen will be fondly missed by her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Also survived by the members of the Bruyere family – Predeceased by her 1st husband James Holt. Eileen was born in Paisley, Scotland on February 4, 1937. Eileen has left behind her family and friends with many memories and has filled our hearts with enough laughter to last us until we meet again. Her favourite saying was about her name. If anyone asked how to remember her name, she would say, “I lean over and you kiss my ass”. They never forgot her name. She was very quick witted and always had a comeback.

At 87 years of age, she became a resident of Gilmore Lodge, where she spent her final 3 years, surrounded by the care and compassion of the dedicated staff. The family is deeply grateful to the nursing staff and caregivers at Gilmore Lodge for the exceptional care, kindness and compassion they have provided to Eileen over the past 3 years. Private family services entrusted to Benner Funeral Services.
