EILEEN GRAHAM Eileen Graham died December 29, 2007. She was born in Carman, Manitoba on February 13, 1917 to Mabel and Tom Graham. She is predeceased by her parents and Aunts and Uncles. Eileen was raised on her parent's farm in Carman and always enjoyed nature's beauty. Eileen attended the Central School South of Carman.

Eileen entered nurses training at the St. Boniface Hospital where she successfully obtained her R.N. diploma. She then took more training in Ann Arbor, Michigan and then worked in California for many years. Eileen returned to Winnipeg due to her parents' failing health and became re-involved with many of her friends and family within the Carman region. While living in Winnipeg, Eileen worked at the Canadian Red Cross Manitoba Division, the Rehabilitation Centre and the Princess Elizabeth Hospital until she retired. She enjoyed living in the St. Vital area of Winnipeg for 35 years and most recently moved to the Metropolitan Kiwanis Courts in 2004.
