November 21, 1955 - June 13, 2022
Holding the hand of her loving husband of 48 years, Eileen passed away on June 13, 2022. Together with Michel, she devotedly raised children David and Karen and was a loving mother-in-law to Lana, Laurens, and Lexi. Adoring grandmother to Stefanja, Lucas, Madison, Benjamin, and Olivia. Proud fur mom to Beatrice and Jake. Cherished daughter of Mildred and Frank Olds, and daughter-in-law to Dorothy and Eldon Ottier. Survived by all her siblings, she will be fondly remembered by Francis Olds, Marjory (Robert) Wilson, Joanne (Ray) DiCiacca, Frank (Wendy) Olds, and Robert (Franka) Olds, as well as her many nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws. We hope she finds peace reunited with her beloved mother, father, aunts, and uncles. While we mourn the loss of Eileen, we will remember the wonderful times we were able to share with her. Eileen was a generous person by nature, always looking for an opportunity to help. She had a passion for creating, whether a beautiful garden or delicious dish, she was an even better neighbour by sharing all that she created. Eileen enjoyed the simple things in life and cherished her time with family; Christmas parties at Frank's house, Olds family picnics, fishing on Walker Lake, sleepovers with the grandkids, or sitting around her sister's table. The family thanks the wonderful and caring staff at St. Catherine's General hospital and Dr. Aube. As per Eileen's wishes, cremation has taken place. Visitation at STONEHOUSE-WHITCOMB FUNERAL HOME, 11 Mountain Street, GRIMSBY (905-945-2755) on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, from 9:30 a.m. until the time of Service of Remembrance in the Funeral Home Chapel at 10:30 a.m. Reception to follow. If desired, donations made in Eileen's memory to Lincoln County Humane Society, or the Grimsby Benevolent Fund would be sincerely appreciated by the family.
