Eileen Murray

Obituary

Passed on

Peacefully on February 7, 2017 Annie Eileen Margaret Murray passed away at Rosewood Lodge Personal Care Home in Stonewall at the age of 92 years. She will be forever missed by her sister Edna Fisher. Eileen and Edna spoke daily on the phone and when Eileen was admitted to Rosewood Lodge they were able to see each other every day. She will also be missed by her niece Darlene (Lloyd) as well as great nieces and nephews Michelle (Lyle) & Kyle (Kezia), Lisa (Dennis) & Aiden and Murray (Kristin) & Grace. Eileen will also be remembered by her nieces and nephews and their families, Bonnie (Don) Hosack, Sandra (Doug) Wallis & Rick Rawson, all of Ontario. She was predeceased by her parents, sister Nora Rawson and brothers-in-law, Earl Rawson and Bill Fisher. Auntie Eileen was viewed by her nieces and nephews as more of a “fun friend” than an aunt and so we called her Eileen. Eileen was always there with us to celebrate our accomplishments and milestones. She never missed a Sunday family supper, our birthdays or a Christmas and was a large part of our lives growing up. Eileen loved animals and they loved her – growing up our pets always knew that Eileen could be counted on for a pat and a treat. Eileen’s home was a great place to visit. There were always homemade cookies to eat and card games to play. Never did you leave her place without a chocolate bar for the road. Eileen enjoyed to travel and had travelled throughout Europe, Canada and the U.S. When Eileen returned from a trip you could count on presents and souvenirs for all of us. Eileen had very gentle and quiet demeanour. She was never one to be the centre of attention but her presence was always felt with her kind smile and we will all miss her very much. Thank you to Stonewall Home Care, Dr. Pinniger, Tudor Home, Dr. Graham and Rosewood Lodge for Eileen’s care over the years. As per Eileen’s request, no formal service will take place and a private family interment will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Eileen’s memory can be made to The Canadian Cancer Society, Heart and Stroke Foundation or The Winnipeg Humane Society.
