It is with much sadness that the family of Eileen Patricia Caissie wish to announce her passing at the Bonnyville Health Centre in Alberta on Thursday, January 25, 2024. She was born in Saint John, NB on October 9, 1945 (a twin to Frances) to Rita (née Housen) and Frank Morris.
Patsy attended school in Saint John, then moved to Alberta with her husband Robert and daughter Christine. There she lived independently until her health and social issues caused her to transfer to assisted living, and for the past 10 years to a Long Term Care Ward within the Bonnyville Hospital. Patsy enjoyed travelling home to visit family and friends until her health prevented this.
She is survived by her daughter, Christine of Calgary, AB, her sisters, Fran Clements, Eleanor (John) Moore, and several cousins, nieces and nephews.
She is predeceased by her parents, Frank & Rita, her husband, Robert (2004), infant son (1975) and brother, Vincent (2003).
There will be a Celebration of Life Service at the Bonnyville Health Centre LTC, Bonnyville, AB on Tuesday, February 6, 2024 at 11:00 a.m., and a Memorial Service in Saint John, NB in late Spring.
Fran and family would like to extend heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the staff of LTC who cared for Eileen (as she was known in Alberta) over these many years. Also, a very "special" thank you to Dr. De Freitas who always cared for Eileen with much compassion and respect; to her Pastor Derrick who visited her regularly; Wendy and Courtney who faithfully called each Monday and Thursday so that Fran and Eileen could speak with one another, and most especially, her long-term caregiver, Shauna Langer who truly loved and cared for Eileen as though she were family.
Fran wishes to thank Amanda with Memento Funeral Chapel in Bonnyville, AB and Jacob with Brenan's Funeral Home in Saint John, NB for their kind assistance and compassion.
Interment will take place in St. Joseph's Cemetery, Saint John, NB.
