Eileen’s greatest passion was her family. She took great joy in being a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.She donated countless hours as a Cub Scouts Den Mother, CCD teacher, 4-H Leader, PTA supporter, and athletics fundraiser. Her fondness for children was reflected in her love of teaching and group activities; she had a natural ability to make learning exciting and fun. A devout Catholic, Eileen dedicated time for church festivals, teaching CCD classes, and supporting other parish activities. She enjoyed a good conversation, the company of others, and was first to laugh at herself.
Respected as a loyal confidant, Eileen took time to listen to others, and she was fortunate to gain a vast and varied group of friends throughout her life. Eileen embraced her Irish heritage by collecting Irish music, poetry, photography, china, glassware and woolens. She would occasionally dance a jig, which would elicit broad smiles and infectious laughter from everyone fortunate to witness!
