Eileen was very active in Lethbridge community theatre and worked on a great number of shows with Lethbridge Playgoers, Lethbridge Musical Theatre, Centre Stage, and the Lethbridge Symphony.
In addition to theatre, Eileen enjoyed fencing, and worked on several political campaigns at the federal, provincial, & municipal levels.

Loved running into Eileen backstage at LMT events. A joy to have known her.
My condolences on your loss my friend
My deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved Eileen. She was a very special friend of mine. I had the opportunity to know Eileen and help pamper her and her feet over the last few years. She shared many special life memories with me, and I always loved my Saturday visits with her. She shared memories of her life in England, stories of her children and husband and her many travel adventures around the world. She was such a charismatic woman, and one I could relate myself to. I always said that when I get to be an elderly woman, I would want to be just like Eileen. I will cherish always the little barometric house she purchased for me (she bought this for me after discussing the very same one she owned and how the pressures effected both her and I). I will continue to think of her every time I make the scotch eggs she taught me how to make. I know you are in a wonderful place Eileen, and I thank you for the stories and the friendship.
Sorry to hear of Mrs Cashmore's passing, I met this lady while I was a cashier (25 yrs) . Her & I had no problem chatting and laughing about whatever. I enjoyed her very much but lost contact over the years. I did miss seeing her about after I retired.
Strength, peace, and love to all during this most difficult time. This wonderful lady I knew best in my youth radiated all of those thing...and so much more.
