THORBURN, Eileen Mary - Died Wednesday in Cape Coral at age 84 of complications after a sudden illness. She is survived by her beloved husband, Donald Spencer Thorburn, her daughter, Carolyn Shuman of Gainesville, GA and Bermuda, her grandson, Dennis Atkin Jr., and her great-grandson, Carter Atkin, both of Seattle, WA; her niece, Valerie Merritt of England; her nephew, Raymond Green of England, her niece Janet of New York State, her cousin, Richard Wale of England, her sister-in-law, Margaret Thorburn, her niece Marion Waldron and nephews Roy, Cameron, and Douglas Thorburn, and great-nieces, and great-great nephews, all of Ontario, Canada. Born in England to her parents Henry and Kathleen Nichols Green, Mrs. Thorburn came to Canada in late 1944, the ship which transported her fleeing from German submarines as the Second World War came to an end. She was a licensed hairdresser in England and Canada. She and Donald moved to Cleveland, Ohio, with their daughter in 1953, then to Cape Coral in 1986, enjoying boating, playing bridge, and both avid ham radio operators. A memorial service will be held at Hope Hospice Chapel in Cape Coral in November, with the date to be announced. A commemoration also will honour her in Port Dover, Ontario, Canada during the annual Thorburn Family Reunion in August, 2010. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Hope Hospice.
