Eileen Windsor

Sept 20, 1937 – Aug 20, 2016

 

 

Eileen passed away peacefully on August 20th at Battleford Union Hospital.  She was predeceased by her husband (Bob – 2009), her mother (Goldie -2006) and her father (Freeman – 1992).

 

 

Eileen leaves behind many loving family members and friends and she successfully managed her aggressive disease to accomplish a wonderful final series of visits with those she cherished.  She leaves behind 4 siblings: Alva (Ottawa), Eldon (Winnipeg), Murray (Salmon Arm) and Lyle (Victoria); sons – Brian (Kamloops), Barry (Calgary) and daughter – Shauna (North Battleford); grandchildren – Kristen (Kamloops), Adam (Kamloops), Lucas (Calgary), Jacob (Calgary); great grandchildren – Julian and Declan (Kamloops).

 

 

Eileen and Bob were married 52 years, establishing great friendships in the communities of Perdue, Edam and Kopp’s Kove.  After Bob passed, Eileen settled in North Battleford to be near her daughter Shauna and several long time friends.  A lifelong sport enthusiast, Eileen evolved into one of the most dedicated curling and baseball (Blue Jay) fans – rarely missing a televised event.  In her lifetime, she attended several Briers and Scotties, Blue Jay’s Spring Training and one World Series.

 

 

Even that great enthusiasm for sports though fell behind her highest priority – her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She collected stories and pictures and intently followed the exploits of each with much love and devotion.

 

 

At Eileen’s request, there will be a closed graveside service and a family celebration of life at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, donations to “Saskatchewan Hospital New Beginnings” are welcomed (http://saskatchewanhospitalnewbeginnings.pnrha.ca/home).
