Eileen was loved by everyone at The Study, staff, students ,parents and Board members. She was a master Physical Education teacher. We all have fond memories of her speaking at assembly , her sense of humour often made us smile. Coaching soccer in the wee hours of the morning , her players never missed a practice. Although I did not see her often , we always shared a good hug when we did. I will miss her dearly. Hugs to William , Sarah and the grand babies .

Dear Sarah and family,
So sorry for your loss. Your mother had such energy and aliveness. It was a pure joy being around her. So lucky to have a mother who loved you so much. May she Rest In Peace, and may her spirit carry through you all.

Having only meeting Eileen a few years ago when I joined her badminton club, I am sad to hear she has left us. I have only good memories of the time I knew her. She was kind, friendly, caring and humorous. She sent me a sweet email when my father died last year, which I will never forget. Her coaching me to help me improve my badminton skills was invaluable. Never criticizing me, always being positive, made her an exceptional person. What a blessing she was. I will not be available to attend the service on Monday, but she will be in my heart forever. Such an angel!
