Sincere sympathy on the death of Sr.Eileen to the Mercy Community, relatives, friends, her cousins John and Sheila.
Sister Eileen was such a pleasant person and her kindness extended to all, we enjoyed that warm hearted welcome on our visit in 2019 to Villa Maria where we enjoyed her hospitality along with that of her community sister, Sister Maria. Her profound interest in people, Ireland and her native Tipperary was truly evident. Eileen's charity works in New Zealand and Tonga will be remembered by the many people she assisted during her long and fulfilling life.
To Sister Eileen's community, family and friends, we keep you in our thoughts.
May she rest in peace.

So sorry John and Shelia to learn that your beloved aunt Sister Eileen has died.
What a wonderful lady who lived such an extraordinary life and contributed so much to the community in Christchurch.
Pauline and I had such a wonderful evening with her at her house in Riccarton in 2014. She made us feel really welcome.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you both and your family at this sad time.
