In loving memory of Eileen Collett who sadly passed away on 25th December 2016 aged 85. A loving Mother to Sandra, Beryl, Carol, Stephen and Glenda. Eileen also leaves behind 8 Grandchildren, Vincent, Lee, Wayne, Mark, Michael, Emma, Amanda and Sean, and 11 Great Grandchildren Ellie, William, Holly, Louie, Joshua, Martha, Seth, Toby, Kieron, Sky and Isla, all who will miss her dearly.

Eileen and her husband Robert (Bob) devoted their life to their children, especially their Son, Stephen, who was diagnosed with learning difficulties when he was 2yrs old after suffering from double pneumonia, and doctors discovering he had a hole in his heart. They lost their daughter Carol in 1982 at the young age of 28yrs.

When Robert died in 1993 Eileen continued to look after Stephen, never seeking help from others, never complaining when times got tough. She was one in a million and will be missed by all who knew her.

A Just Giving page has been set up for anyone wishing to donate to Nottingham Mencap, a charity who help people with Learning Difficulties.
