Eileen KRIEGER
By Lesley KRIEGER, Karen
McDONALD and Bob
SILVERMAN Monday, May
26, 2003 - Page A14
Daughter, granddaughter, niece, sister, dancer, student leader.
Born January 5, 1981, in Ridgeway, Ontario Died January 20, near
Belleville, Ontario, in a car accident, aged 21.
Eileen grew up in a small town where she spent most of her time
either dancing at her mother's dance studio or running wild on
her grandmother's farm. "Eileen the Bunny Queen" was an early
nickname that reflected her love of rabbits. But she spent time
with more that just rabbits -- there were also all of those raccoons,
squirrels, chickens, turkeys and, of course, horses. Later, she
even managed to integrate cats, dogs and rabbits into her university
life.
She grew into a beautiful young woman with a dazzling smile and
what seemed to be boundless energy. She once told her housemate
that she found sleep boring. As she matured she became immersed
in myriad activities but family remained at the centre of her
life. She was a loving daughter to her father Charlie, and a
mentor to her younger brother Karl and sister Meaghan.
Eileen's interests and those of her mother meshed to a greater
extent than they do for many mothers and daughters. One of those
passions was dance. Her final performances were in Casa Del Sol,
Spain. An extraordinary bonding took place among the dance Friends
as they travelled and worked together.
Eileen's high school years left their mark on her teachers. One
teacher, Ken
GIBBONS, found working closely with her at the student
leadership camp to be "a joy and learning experience for me.
She was a natural teacher who knew the material and showed a
genuine concern for those she was leading. The greatest thrill
for a teacher is to know even one person like Eileen." Hugh
O'BRIAN,
founder of Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership, recalls Eileen's qualities
at the World Leadership Congress, calling her "a true achiever
and a great representative of Canada."
This straight-A student somehow managed to spend a year as president
of her high-school student council, stay involved in sports,
and receive the 1999 Award for Excellence and the Principal's
Leadership Award before entering Queen's University in 2000 where
she majored in Development Studies and Sociology.
While at Queen's she took a job as a waitress at Summerhill (the
principal's official residence, which is used for entertaining).
There, her poise, self-confidence and engaging personality resulted
in her meeting and getting to know many people, including members
of Queen's Board of Trustees, honorary-degree recipients, and
Members of Parliament.
From her first year on campus Eileen became involved in the Canadian
Student Leadership Conference (now known as Withinsight) which
is a Queen's student-run initiative. This annual conference takes
place in Ottawa and attracts students from across the country
who come to hear government, business and other community leaders
speak or lead workshops. It was at that conference one year,
that Eileen met Richard, who became her true love.
Eileen became the national director of the 2003 conference, but
she did not get to see the results of her hard work; the accident
that took her life occurred three days before the conference
was to begin. Her executive team members were devastated by her
loss but came together to run a very successful conference in
her honour. In future conferences, there will be an annual award
offered in her name.
Upon hearing of her death, Al
FISHER, a professor of music at
Queen's, wrote: "I found her (to be) a vital, intelligent and
accomplished young person. The cruelty of a sudden, violent death
for such a treasure is profoundly numbing."
Lesley KRIEGER is Eileen's mother, Karen
McDONALD her aunt; Bob
SILVERMAN,
Dean of Arts and Science at Queen's, a friend.

O'BRIEN
-In loving memory of Harold, who passed away July 31, 1999.
Look around your garden, Lord,
He won't be hard to find
He has a face that full of love
And a heart that's good and kind.
Tell him that we love him
And when he turns and smiles
Put your arms around him Lord,
And hold him for awhile.
We talk about him often
We think about him still
He hasn't been forgotten Lord,
And never ever will.
-Sadly missed by Marion, Austin, Joe and Cheryl, Don and Pat
