Pharmacist Eeva Hellä Elina Schrey (b Kumlin) died on April 9, 2024 at his home in Saga Kaskenniity, Turku. He was 94 years old, born in Helsinki on October 4, 1929.
Schrey moved to Oulu, Turku and finally Naantali for his father’s work, where he spent his youth. He matriculated from Turku Suomalainen co-educational school in 1949, completed his pharmacist’s degree in 1952 and graduated as a pharmacist in 1960.
Schrey got a pharmacy license in the Sauvo pharmacy in 1972. He also worked in teaching and training positions, published scientific studies, gave presentations in the field of pharmacy and participated in association activities in the Finnish Pharmaceutical Association, the Finnish Pharmacists Association and the Finnish Pharmacy Association in many different positions.
In addition, Schrey played the role of secretary of the Turku Pharmacist Club, actively promoting the establishment of the Turku Pharmacy Museum. He was very interested in the field of pharmacy and often traveled abroad on study trips.
Diligentour brave and determined mother showed other women the way to entrepreneurship and, at that time, the still very male-dominated pharmacy profession.
He treated his fellow human beings with respect and valued his employees. He had a bright attitude towards life and his spouse’s support for success and success in working life.
Active activities and hard work helped Eeva to get a license for the newly established Turku XIII pharmacy. In 1984, he founded a pharmacy in Kupitta and later branch pharmacies in Pansio-Perno and Citymarket in Kupitta (now Nova pharmacy) and a health food store.
Eeva worked as an employer for dozens of employees in four different locations. He had a humble approach to life, valued education, hard work and sticking to agreed matters.
Practical in managing everyday life, his luminosity, organizational ability, innovativeness and perseverance were left to posterity, for example.
Eeva loved beauty and elegance. He created it around himself, both at home, at his summer house and in the companies he founded. In her free time, Eeva enjoyed gardening, boating and bridge card games.
Even more precious than gold for Eeva and Harri (d. 2019) were the summers together with their 13 grandchildren in Harjattula’s Solbacka.
My love the death of mother and grandmother was expected. He had a good and long life, which also contained overwhelming sadness and, especially in the last years, illness and pain.
With her gentleness and love, Eeva was the force that brought the family together even in difficult moments.
