DALY, Sister Eleanor, CSJ
(Sister Mary Eleanor)
Surrounded by her sisters in Community at St. Joseph's Motherhouse, Sister Eleanor passed away peacefully on September 9, 2015. She was in her 57th year of Religious Life as a Sister of St. Joseph in Canada, Pembroke Neighbourhood. Sister was born in Farrellton, Quebec, a daughter of the late John and Bertha (Mahoney). Left to celebrate her life among us are her Sisters in the Congregation, her sister, Maureen (Cuddihey), as well as nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brothers, Claude and Walter. Sister Eleanor was a Teacher and Principal and inspired children in schools located in Pembroke, Chalk River, Deep River, Douglas, Killaloe, Maynooth, Read, and Marmora. Following her teaching career, she retired in Ottawa and continued teaching Religious Education and Sacramental Preparation at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish. She was appointed as the Holy Childhood Representative for the Archdiocese of Ottawa. We are proud of the hard work she did for children of the Catholic faith, preparing them to receive the sacraments. At her request, there will be no visitation. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at St. Joseph's Motherhouse, 1127 Pembroke Street West, Pembroke on Saturday, September 12 at 11:00 a.m. Interment at a later date at St. Columba's Cemetery, Pembroke.

My condolences to Maureen and to all descendants (nieces & nephews) of Claude & Walter.
Eleanor was my next-door neighbour when we lived in Farrellton, PQ. I have fond memories of us walking to school from our remote farms. Eleanor was a friend and she was also an intelligent dedicated scholar with a life purpose in mind. A job well done Sister...say one for me. Bill(y) Smith

Sister Eleanor prepared both of my boys for their First Holy Communion at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Ottawa. She offered a structured program on Monday nights. I knew about her previous work as a teacher and principal but I had not known that she was appointed Holy Childhood Representative for the Archdiosease of Ottawa. I was happy to hear that she had a peaceful death surrounded by her sisters in Christ. Thank you Sister Eleanor, and may you enjoy your eternal rest.
