Eileen M. Eydt
January 9, 1929 - October 21, 2022
Funeral Details: Mass at St. Mary's Catholic Church on Friday, October 28 at 10 a.m.
Eileen Mary Eydt
Born January 9th, 1929 in Manchester, England, our dearest mother emigrated to Canada with her family just after WWII, her sister having married a member of the Canadian air force. A registered nurse, mum worked in the health care industry most of her life, retiring as manager of the Canadian Hearing Society office in Barrie Ontario. She raised 6 children while living in 6 cities (Hamilton, Montreal, Burlington, Toronto, Calgary and Barrie). Mum was an avid golfer and golf fan, a curler, a fabulous cook and baker, a voracious reader, and like the star that she was, regularly snow-shoed into her mid-80s. She loved her time visiting family in New Zealand, Calgary and Vancouver. Always there for her children, 14 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren, loving and caring, and blessed with the wisdom to keep her opinions to herself, unless asked. A life well lived. Predeceased by our father, Samuel Jacob Eydt (September 2, 1997).
A funeral mass will be held Friday, October 28 at St Mary’s Catholic Church (10 a.m.) in Barrie, Ontario. Reception to follow at the church.
In lieu of flowers a donation to Parkinson Research would be greatly appreciated.
