Eileen is also survived by her niece Linda (John) Garden of Calgary Alberta. She was predeceased by her father and mother Calvin and Lillian Church of Blaine Lake, brother Lawrence, sister-in-law Ann and nephews Dr. Ervin (Amy) Church and Percy Church. Eileen was born in 1925 on a farm just outside of Blaine Lake, Saskatchewan. She held fond memories of those years, especially going to school by horse and carriage with her brother Lawrence in the winter, often wearing a buffalo fur coat. She completed her last two years of high school by correspondence which allowed her to care for her Mother while still receiving schooling through the Toronto Royal Conservatory School of music for piano. She met her husband Milton while vacationing at Waskesiu, Saskatchewan and they later married in Leask on July 2, 1954. Eileen was not only the farmer’s wife but also worked beside her husband in the family SGIO insurance business for decades. Eileen had an unprecedented love for animals. In 1980 the Western Producer had a picture of a horse reaching through a fence eating grass. She called the paper and asked if it was her horse. They were so astonished that she had recognized her horse by only seeing the picture and sent her a personal framed copy of it. Milton and Eileen attended Knox United Church in Leask and dearly loved the Lord. Eileen was renowned for her culinary talents and her family and friends savored many fabulous meals she prepared with love. She adored her husband, her children, grandchildren and probably every four legged creature that ever walked the earth. Eileen passed away peacefully on her 88th birthday with her husband of almost 60 years by her side ending a full and wonderful life. On her final birthday with us, she received the ultimate gift; returning home to be with our Lord Jesus Christ. Emailed condolences sent to www.beaulacfuneralhome.com will be forwarded to the family.
