We were so sad to hear of Aileen’s passing and sorry we could not attend her service as we were in Ottawa visiting family. Aileen was so kind to my mother, Helen Stothers, in her elder years taking her on many shopping trips to town. These were always fun adventures for my mother and we were grateful for their friendship. Aileen was a fun, kind person and she will be missed.

Aileen has let us stay with her on occasions when we came up north. My first time was when I graduated from High School in 1974 and then again when I broke my leg in 1991. There was always so much activity going on at the farm!

I remember meeting Mrs. Tigert at my brother’s wedding to her daughter Susan and so admired her. Her husband had passed not long before and yet she graced us with her dignity and courage. My heartfelt sympathy to all the family and friends. I am sure Eileen’s life was not always easy but she truly made a difference in this world and lived a long life. May she rest in peace.

Tiger Family, We were sorry to hear the loss of Aileen. She was a great person and friend.
We first met through the Goderich Legion. We enjoyed many games of euchre and cribbage together, as well
as travelling to the tournaments. I also enjoyed Aileen’s sense of humour..very much! Especially hearing about her “dandelion wine”..for her wine cellar!
Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
