Mum sadly died at home on the 7th October, at 92 years old, from metastatic lung cancer, only diagnosed on 22nd August. She was living her best life just six weeks before, living completely independently. Supporting Mum and the family during this time was the Ellenor charity, they were extremely helpful to us, Mum wanted donations to this charity rather than flowers.

Mum wanted her funeral to be a happy event. In her beloved home of 65 years, near the end she carefully wrote instructions for us to all follow in her 'Wishes Book'. If people can wear bright colours to her funeral, she would be very pleased, mum's favourite colour to wear was blue. Please share the link with anyone that would like to be present and if you can click the attendance that would be lovely.
We will be pleased to see you all to celebrate our Mum’s long and happy life.

Many Thanks,

Paul, Trevor, Marianne and Linda.

A very special friend through JARA and Short Mat Bowls. Always had a smile on her face and was loved and admired by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
We will miss you, but you will always be remembered for your kindness to others and will have a special place in our hearts.

Auntie Eileen was an amazing auntie. So many wonderful memories and a huge part of my childhood. The best shortbread biscuits with the squares and the box of little Lindt bunnies at Easter. How she hosted all those Christmas’s I’ll never know. A wonderful lady xxx

I only knew Eileen for a short while but she was a lovely lady with a great sense of humour and very positive about life. I'm glad Sylvia and I got to visit her when we did. She will be sadly missed at Bowls Club xx

  • I became friends with Eileen when she helped me running the guide company in Eden Road in the late 70’s. She was a lovely lady and a good friend.
