Eileen Hunter

HUNTER, Sister Eileen Marie The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Canada, London site, announce the death of our dear Sr. Eileen Marie in our Care Centre, January 9, 2016. Kathleen Selina Hunter was born in 1930 in Windsor, Ontario. Received into our religious Community in 1948, Kathleen was given the name Sr. Eileen Marie. Lovingly remembered by her long-time friend Sr. Paulette Mellon, all her CSJ Sisters, her sister Eileen Lucier and husband Eugene, and sisters-in-law Barb and Patricia, as well as nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her mother Helen (Kane), father Thomas, and brothers Joseph and Thomas. An energetic and dedicated teacher, Sister's kindness and model of excellence was particularly noted in her ministry as principal in elementary and high schools throughout South Western Ontario and in Maple Ridge, BC. Retired from teaching, Sr. Eileen Marie served on Congregational committees, as a mentor to our Windsor Associates, and Coordinator of Holy Rosary Convent. In her last few years living in Windsor, she served on the Board of Drouillard Place, and Second Chance Ministry, volunteered at Hotel Dieu Hospital, and was chaplain for the Ford City Optimist. In 2015, acknowledging Eileen's move to London, Second Chance Ministry created a bursary in her name. A woman with an expansive heart, compassionate and proud of her Irish roots, Sr. Eileen Marie loved her community and was a great advocate in encouraging others to join us in our mission of unity and reconciliation. We thank the staff of our Care Centre for their constant and attentive care. All services will be held at the Sisters' Residence, 485 Windermere Rd., London, with visitation on Tuesday, January 12, from 2-4 and 7-8 p.m. with a Prayer Service at 6:30 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, January 13, 11:00 a.m. with Father John Comiskey presiding, followed by interment in St. Peter's Cemetery, London.
