It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Eileen Farr, beloved wife of the late Harold George Farr.
Eileen is survived by her four children, Terry Mogensen, Cindy Deptuck (Ron), Penny Robertson (Reid) and Jerry, eight grandchildren, Robert (Jessica), Brandon (Ashley), Jared, Alyssa, Kristie (Justin), Kody (Kaileigh), Chad (Kelsea), and Aaron as well as great grandchildren, Samantha, Isla, Clay and Huddson.
She also leaves behind two siblings, Dennis and June along with many nieces and nephews.
She is predeceased by her parents, Bennie and Violet Buchanan, siblings, Walter and Verna and her precious grandson Tyler.
Eileen was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and married her husband in November of 1957. They farmed for several years and Eileen was a telephone operator from home.
They moved to BC in 1967, first to Campbell River, then Gold River for several years and settled in Courtenay in 1973 where she was a telephone operator again at CFB Comox.
Eileen kept busy with her bingo and casino friends and occasional road trips and enjoyed knitting and cross stitch in her down time.
We'd like to extend our sincere thanks to Dr Itta Winter, Dr Sara Sandwith and VIHA Home-care for the caring attention she received from them.
We all loved Mom so much and she will be missed by many. There's a place in our heart no other can take.
There is no service as requested by Mom.
