Eileen O’Toole – Happy 104th
Born in English Settlement on February 4, 1920, Eileen Toole had a lengthy career as a devoted teacher and upon retirement, a devoted GMART member. Upon graduating from the Provincial Normal School in 1939, Eileen took a teaching position at Smith Corner. Shortly thereafter, she found her way to Calhoun and ultimately to Sunny Brae School. A caring mother, Eileen took a break from teaching when her daughter Carolyn was born but returned to teaching at Calhoun and then once again to Sunny Brae School where she taught mainly Math and English. Along the way, she obtained a Bachelor of Education degree.
After retiring in 1981, Eileen became very active in the Moncton Society of Retired Teachers. She was involved with the Calling Committee and the GMART 25th Anniversary Organizing Committee in 1996 and served as GMART President, 1983 – 1985.
Over the years, Eileen has shown her talent as an artist and a musician. A lifelong learner and teacher, Eileen exemplifies the true meaning of the word “Education”. GMART joins Eileen’s family and friends in sending her Best Wishes on the occasion of her 104th birthday.
