Remaining to cherish her memory are her daughters Lorraine Giesbrecht (Don), Colleen Funk (Ray), son Dale McLeod, daughter-in-law Lori McLeod, grandchildren Trent Giesbrecht (Natalie), Nevin Giesbrecht (Chantale), Kyle Giesbrecht (Kyra), Justin McLeod, Jenna McLeod, Steven Funk, Jeremy Funk and great- grandchildren Lexi, Ronan and Phoebe Giesbrecht and sisters-in-law Mary Sellen (Dick), Violet McLeod and brother-in-law Dave Braidwood. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Ken in January 2013, her parents Edward and Nora Pethybridge, brothers and a sister and her dear son Wes McLeod.

She loved to sing and play guitar. Listening to her children and grandchildren at music recitals and watching them at sporting events were her greatest joy. Eileen cared deeply for her community and always helped in any way she could. She will be sadly missed.

My sincere condolences to Eileen and Ken's family. They were very good friends of Janie and I. We went to many oldtime fiddling contests, barn dances, suppers, etc. with them. I miss my old friends. An old old friend Kai Winther - Posted by: Kai Winther (Old Friend) on: Oct 31, 2013
