Eileen Pearle (Heron) Paquet

Eileen passed peacefully at Andrew’s of Stratford on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 with family by her side.  Eileen is survived by her children Michelle (Zack Kosseim) and Jeffrey (Melissa); her grandchildren Katey, Rhys, Sawyer and Bennett and siblings Estelle Walker, Marina Holland (Peter) and Brian Heron (Donna).  She was predeceased by her husband John, parents Howard and Ruth (Kelly) Heron, son Michael Paquet, brother Frank Heron, and brother-in-law Leo Walker. 

Eileen was raised in Fort Augustus and spent most of her adult years living in Stratford with her husband John of 30+ years. She had a successful career as a banker with TD for over 25 years which provided inspiration to many women in her life.  Anyone who knew Eileen will remember her positive demeanor and that everything was always “great”. She loved to travel (especially to sun destinations and to visit her grandkids), shop and wear high heels. She adored her kids and grandkids and was always up for anything.

The family want to send special thanks to the amazing staff at Andrew’s of Stratford as well as the many friends and family members that took time to visit and support the family during this difficult time.
