You always knew when Eileen entered a room; it was filled with light and her unmistakable laughter. She had the biggest and kindest heart, always making those around her feel welcomed. Eileen was a devoted wife and mother, always ensuring that Craig and Rebecca felt loved and cared for. For those who had the pleasure of knowing Eileen, the world will be a little dimmer, but each one can take comfort in the knowledge that you mattered to her.
Eileen’s family extends the utmost gratitude to the staff at the University of Alberta Hospital, not only for the phenomenal care and comfort provided to her, but to them as well.
