My condolences to Eileen's family and friends. I deeply admired Eileen when I worked with her at BC Central Credit Union, so much so that I followed her to WCB where our paths took divergent routes so I saw her infrequently. I will always remember her kind, generous spirit and thoughtful nature.

I got to know Eileen while working on our Langley Quilt guild quilt show a few years ago. She was such a kind, compassionate and caring person. We'll sure miss you!

I am so sorry to hear of Eileen's passing. I worked with Eileen for 5 years, and will always remember her as a gentle and caring person, who would go out of her way for others. She was also a great organizer, and put so much thought into every little detail when planning an event. I recall her special kindness twenty years ago, when Eileen threw a wedding shower for me at her apartment in Richmond. Needless to say, everything from the food, to the gift wrapping, etc., was absolute perfection, Eileen wouldn't have it any other way. I feel very blessed to have known her, and will remember her forever, with great respect. My deepest sympathy goes out to her entire family, and friends.

I worked with Eileen for many years in Finance at Worksafe and also on the Helping Hands charity group. Eileen was always there to help anyone who needed it, without complaint. One of my favorite memories was our Christmas Wrap Night. Eileen would bring out her many boxes of papers and ribbons and trinkets and we would wrap the most beautiful presents.. I will miss your sweetness and wonderful nature my friend.
My deepest sympathy to Eileen's family.

What a ray of sunshine dear Eileen was. She always had a smile on her face for everyone. It is a sad day for our quilters guild to have lost such a wonderful member and dear friend.

My condolences to Eileen's family. I worked with Eileen for many years at WorksafeBC. Eileen and I also worked together on the WorksafeBC Helping Hands charity committee which she was the treasurer of. Eileen was a caring, dedicated person who put a great deal of her own time into making the charity group a success. She was a warm hearted caring person who will be greatly missed.

So very sorry to hear of Eileen's passing. We worked together for years at the WCB, she was a shining example of living her faith; her kindness and generosity of spirit was unequaled. She had a wonderful sense of humour too, we shared many laughs together. A truly lovely person who I will never forget.
