Helen “Eileen” MacDonald Kirk of Cochrane passed away on February 23, 2017 at the age of 86.   Eileen was born on April 19, 1930 in Edinburgh, Scotland. She married William (Bill) Kirk in 1952 and had four children.  The family moved to Canada in 1968.

She is survived by her children David Kirk (Kim), Elizabeth Christie (Lewis), Stuart Kirk, and Andrew Kirk (Colleen).  Eileen loved her grandchildren: Eric (Jolene), Michael (Annette), Jennifer (Pete), Colin (Margaux), Ashley, Lindsay (Adam), Shannon, Abby, and Ainsley.  She also had great grandchildren:  Seth, Trinity, Jaylin, Grayson, Avery, Liam, Olivia, and Finley.

Eileen loved living in Cochrane.  She worked at Elizabeth Barrett Elementary School. She spent her last few years at the Big Hill Lodge with staff routinely going the “extra mile” for her.

Eileen will be remembered as a loving mom and a sweet, kind little Scottish lady.
