May 24, 1933 – March 29, 2012
Daughter of the late James Francis and Leontine (Savoie) Jimmo. Survived by her four brothers Ken (Freda) of Toronto, ON, Ossie (Sylvia) of Qualicum Beach, Sherman of London, ON, and Paul (Linda) of Saint John, NB; two sisters Marilyn (Jack) Van Wart of Quispamsis, NB, and Sharon of Saint John, NB; two aunts Stella Flynn, and Bernice Conroy; one uncle Zoel (Margaret) Savoie; four nephews Aaron (Crystal) Van Wart, Doug (Hayley) Jimmo, Jay (Ang) Jimmo, and Chris Jimmo; 7 nieces Carolyn (Malcolm) Campbell, Aimee (Jonathan) Clark, Lisa (Brian) Wills, Karen (Dan) Congdon, Annette (Patrick) Clifford, Denise Jimmo, and Charlene (Darin) Jimmo; 24 great-nieces and nephews, and one great-great-nephew. Besides her parents, Eileen was predeceased by her brother Alden and sisters-in-law Norma and Agnes.
The family would like to thank Palliative Care and Victoria Hospice for their wonderful care and support. We’d also like to thank Eileen’s friends and all of our family friends for their many kindnesses and support.
After years of working in a bank in Saint John, NB, Eileen went to work for the Dept. of External Affairs as a Secretary, working in our Canadian Embassies and High Commissions around the world; a job she enjoyed. She retired to Victoria in ‘94 and came to love the Island and the many friends she made. Eileen loved to play golf and Mah Jong, and the friends she made there.
Private cremation. Donations can be made to Palliative Care, Hospice, or the charity of their choice. Condolences may be offered below.

Susan, Dave & Jessica McPherson My fondest memories of Eileen are of her as a young women giving up her Sundays taking her favourite Aunt Stella and the little cousins to Mispec Beach for the day, something she did so frequently despite car sick children. Thank you for being part of our lives.

Hello,
I only found out today about Eileen passing away last year.
I met her in Accra,Ghana, where she was High-Commissioner Fogarty’s secretary. I was posted at the same High Commission at the time and spent a lot of good time with her. She was a real lady and I keep fond memories of her.
I left Accra while she was still recovering from a terrible car accident she suffered while on holidays in Abidjan.I was saddened by her death and just wanted to express my condolences to her family and friends.
Best regards
Michel Julien
