Obituary for Eileen M. Cunniffe
Eileen M. Cunniffe, 89, of Seabrook, NH and OFD passed away September 7, 2023, surrounded by her loving family.
Born March 6, 1934, in Dorchester MA, the daughter of John J. and Nora (Bryne) Cunniffe. Eileen was predeceased by her brothers Hubert G., William P., John (Jack), Leo F. Cunniffe and sister, Claire M. Paschal.
Eileen received her Bachelor’s degree from Emmanuel College and later a Master’s degree in Education from Boston State College. She enhanced her teaching style with advanced courses and seminars throughout her career.
Eileen was a former member of the Sisters of Notre Dame for twenty years and later moved to Seabrook, New Hampshire where she taught in the Exeter School system for twenty plus years.
We remember Eileen as a lover of the written word. Her devotion to the teaching profession was exemplary. For twenty-three years her classroom provided a caring and supportive environment for her students. She coordinated many educational workshops, seminars, and as Reading Department Chairperson she initiated the Developmental Reading Program for the Exeter AREA Junior High School.
Eileen leaves behind many loving nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
Besides her beloved family she leaves life-long cherished friends and colleagues. A friend described Eileen, “I have many happy memories of you, you were so much fun, so dignified and bright, all and all, a glorious human being.” Upon retirement a colleague wrote, “Lastly, I will miss your style and manner on Awards Day. No one matches your eloquence, dignity, and sincerity when you presented the awards to the students.”
Eileen who was born in Dorchester, MA has requested to have her services be held at her family parish.
