EILEEN ELSIE LAW January 15, 1938 - February 5, 2018 We are saddened to announce the passing of our sister, mother and nanny, Eileen, at St. Boniface Hospital, after a five year struggle with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Eileen grew up in Transcona. She was the second of four daughters born to Christine (Kramble) and Harry Hewitson. After leaving high school, she began a long and varied career in the accounting field. Her final position was with Tryton Investments. Later in life she sat on the Manitoba Rentals Board for many years. On March 13, 1954 she married Allan Law. They raised three children, Harry, Kim and Kelly. Apart from six years spent in Churchill, they lived all of their life in Transcona. Eileen was predeceased by her parents, her husband Allan, her son-in-law Eric Irwin, and her brother-in-law Gerry Jourdain. She is survived by her three children, Harry (Donna), Kim and Kelly (Robin), grandchildren Jeneane and Robbie Law, Sean (Michelle), Ryan and Erica Irwin, her sisters Lorraine Jourdain, Wilma (Willy) Parasiuk, Virginia (Larry) Harrison and their families, and her special friend Dennis Jamieson. We would like to thank all her family (cousins and aunts), neighbours and friends who were there for her as her mobility deteriorated. We would like to extend a special thank you to Joan Warin who was with Eileen the morning of her passing. Following Eileen's wishes, there will be no funeral service. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Eileen was very blessed. She travelled, lived, loved, and forged life-long friendships. She had a heart of gold, opening her home to family and friends throughout her life. She will be dearly missed. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to The Manitoba Lung Association.
