Colquhoun, Eileen Gertrude (nee Green) October 1, 1918 - December 24, 2010
Eileen passed away peacefully in Toronto, after a long and full life. Eileen grew up in Plaster Rock, NB, trained at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, and served in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a nurse during WW II. Married in 1947 to Frederick Colquhoun, Eileen raised their family in Toronto and was active in the Association of Women Electors and the Women's Musical Club. Eileen was predeceased by her husband Fred (1969), son Peter (2003) and younger siblings Geraldine (2002), Darryl (1977) and Hollie (1986). She leaves daughters Joan (Bob McGorman), Ann (Mark Sutton) and daughter-in-law Annegret; grandchildren Andrew (Hester), Michael, David, Kathleen, Margo, Julie and Simon (Rachel); great-grandchildren Caleb, Declan, Sydney and Perrin; as well as extended family, neighbours and friends. In accordance with Eileen's wishes, a funeral will not be held. A celebration of her life will take place in Toronto in January 2011. Please contact Ann (asutton@uottawa.ca) for further details.
