Eileen was a real positive and bubbly person. She was also a great story teller, several of which are part of the History of South Vancouver and John Oliver High School being compiled by the John Oliver Historical Society. She left large footprints. Sincere condolences.

THANK YOU, EILEEN. THANK YOU.
You were the inspiration of this teenage girl's heart at Templeton with your White Paper in my hand, a low-income split family child, who determinedly graduated with a B.Ed., very much with your efforts and goals in mind. I'm retired now, having a teaching career with many of your progressive actions in every-day practice. YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE, a damn good one for tens of thousands of BC folks. BLESS YOU, AND YOUR FAMILY. xoxoxo Ruth Lowther.
