WITHERS,
Eileen
Anne (née
TRAYNOR)
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the sudden passing
of Eileen WITHERS, after a short and courageous battle with lung
cancer. On Friday, June 13th, she died peacefully with her husband
and two children by her side in hospital in Halifax, age 61.
A woman whose journey through life blended several families in
many locations, including homes in Scotland, England, Gatineau
in Quebec, Ottawa, Halifax, Toronto and finally retirement in
Windsor,
Nova
Scotia. Daughter of proud parents Harry
TRAYNOR
and Katherine (née
GILL) of Halifax. Beloved wife and best friend
of Thomas (Ted)
WITHERS. Cherished mother of Sarah (Keith
BENNETT,
Toronto) and Adam
MAHONEY
(Kendra
HURSHMAN, Windsor.) Dear stepmother
of Rob MAHONEY (Tracey
SLITER, Ottawa), Paul
WITHERS (Judy
MYRDEN,
Halifax) and Carolyn (Andy
HEARD, Salt Spring Island, British
Columbia). Precious sister of Ian (Ottawa) and Gordon (Halifax),
she was predeceased by her sister Christine (Bryan
UNSWORTH,
York). Eileen will be sadly missed by her extended family and
Friends in the United Kingdom, the U.S. and throughout Canada.
Born in Greenock, Scotland, her family moved to England before
she started school. An avid sportswoman and student, tennis and
grass-hockey were balanced by studying mathematics and chemistry,
eventually completing an honours degree in Economics at the University
of London. In 1968, shortly after arriving in Canada, she realized
that her French skills, learned in England, were not sufficient
so she enrolled in a French ski school. That way, she could learn
to ski and speak French at the same time. Her strong work ethic
and commitment to efficiency helped propel her into senior policy
roles in several federal government departments, and trade negotiator
for International Trade Commission. Eileen was truly a remarkable
and multifaceted woman whose interests included her pets, wine
making and antiques. Always fond of puzzles and games, the complexity
of duplicate bridge enchanted her. She was a Life Master, certified
as both a director and teacher. She also judged competitive debating
teams. A collector by nature she attended estate auctions most
weekends. Travel often centred around a theme, first bridge tournaments,
then 'collecting' state capital domes in the United States, and
finally, viewing paintings by Vermeer in museums around the world.
Her love of art was shared with Ted. In recent years, her generosity
led her to volunteer with seniors at the Windsor Elms, especially
in the Palliative Care Unit. An active member of her church,
she was a Eucharistic Minister. Funeral mass and celebration
of life were held in Windsor, Nova Scotia In lieu of flowers,
donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, or your
local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Animal
Shelter. Private messages of condolence can be made in the 'Guest
Book' at: www.familycare.ca She met each challenge in her path
with grace and wisdom and it was the gift of herself that she
gave to others.
