She will be lovingly remembered by her children: Albert (Marg), John, Bonnie (John) Enns, grandchildren: Christian (Jodi), Natalie (Ian) Schillberg, Chelsea, Dana (Ryan) and great grandson Liam. Eileen was born and raised in Ottawa. She met her husband, Jim, during the war when her family decided to take in boarders to help the war effort. In 1945, she moved to Winnipeg as a war bride. They built a home in Riverview where they raised their three children and were active members of the community. Mom was a member of the Riverview Community Center and Riverview United Church. She spent many happy summers at the family cottage at Malachi, Ontario, and winters travelling to warmer places.
