Eileen was very active in sports at school and loved to dance. She was an accomplished mandolin player with orchestras from the Ukrainian Labour Temple and the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians. She was especially proud of entertaining Canadian service men during the Second World War. During her working life she held various positions. Some of her happiest memories were from working at the University of Manitoba, Department of Agricultural Economies. She was an ardent supporter of Folklorama and served on the Board of Directors of the Folk Arts Council of Manitoba. She put in many years of volunteering at the Lviv Pavillion and was proud of her family's involvement. Special thanks to Dr. K.S. Jolly for all his years of care, the doctors and nurses on 5A and 6A at St. Boniface Hospital, and most recently to Dr. P. Daeninck for his special care.
