Eileen was the kindest, sweetest and most loving person I have ever known. She never had a harsh word for or about anyone. She loved her husband, children, siblings and parents so much. I was so honored to call her my friend for about 50 years. She made everyone a better person just by being Eileen. Words can not express how much she will be missed.
I have so many wonderful memories I will just share a few.
I went to high school with her brother David and also Pat. We also worked together at GTE in 1974. I think that is where our lifelong friendship began.
She rode her bike to my parents house one day and my dad said “who is that 16 year old.” Eileen never aged , she was always so beautiful💕
She used to pick me up in her Volkswagen Beetle. She was so much fun and a joy to be around.
When she met her amazing husband, Mark, she was not sure she wanted to go out with a musician. Needless to say that relationship turned into a beautiful marriage. Their wedding is still one of my favorite memories.
Eileen was blessed with three of the most amazing, talented and successful children. They are a tribute to the loving mom that she was. Her children came first and she was supportive in all their endeavors.
Eileen had a phenomenal memory. She never forgot a name or how they were related.
When her mom passed she wanted to know if I would like something to remember her by. Eileen gave me a ceramic white cat sitting on a blue cushion. It is still displayed on the family room book shelves. Every time I see it I not only think of her mom but of her and her thoughtfulness.
Eileen and Mark came over to visit one day after her stroke and our dog, Scout just loved her. He has a very small circle of people he likes and he knew just how truly special Eileen was.
She simply was amazing in every way. The best friend, the best wife , the best mom and the best grandma.
She will be missed more than words can adequately express. Rest in peace my dear friend. Love you always.
Eileen joined our bridge group in Greenville S.C. shortly after moving here. The picture with 3 of us was taken October 20, 2015 just a couple of weeks before her stroke. She was so full of life and.brought so much joy, happiness and fun to the group. ❤️
I have a smile, forever in my heart.
Eileen gave it so genoresly to me when we first met. That smile I will cherish and never forget. Till we meet again Eileen 💕 Jo
Sheba, my pride and joy. Everyone who knew you, LOVED you. You were your mother's pride and joy. It has been so hard to let you go, but I know you have gained your angels wings. You are light as a feather, and your world is full of light, beauty, happiness and you stand on solid ground. You are in the hands of our Father. It is those of us left behind that suffer your loss. Be free my beloved friend. I know you wouldn't come back if you could. We WILL see each other again. I love you. Your best friend (circa 1951), Kim
Can Jenny play? Are Amanda and Adam home too? Can we swim in your pool (after hours of swimming at ours)? Do you guys have more watermelon?
These were just some of the questions Eileen would graciously juggle as our Raintree crew popped over in proper 90s childhood fashion. She was always sweet and also firm when we needed it, I remember her smile & laugh more than anything - could literally light up a room.
She rooted for us in a way that made it clear she was proud and we always felt included in a way that only framily can make you feel!
Sending so much love to the entire family ❤️
Love you mom!
