Eileen Metcalf Obituary

Eileen Metcalf was born on Nov. 24, 1919 in Hugo, Colorado and transitioned on Feb. 1, 2014 in Folsom, CA. at the age of 94. She was preceded in death by her husband of 49 years, Clarence Metcalf.

Eileen is survived by her children, Stephen, Dwight, Ronald, Rebecca, 7 grandchildren, and 11 great grandchildren.

Eileen's love of life included a passion for photography, carpentry, gardening, walking, and scrabble. Her photo collection numbers over 100 albums, she built furniture and started a geodesic dome business with her son-in-law. Her prowess in scrabble made her unbeatable. As an avid walker, Eileen participated in 5 K running/walking events well into her 80's.

Her effusive smile spoke of an indomitable spirit that was felt by family and friends. She graced our lives with a loving disposition that will be held in the hearts of everyone that knew her.

A celebration of her life will be held between 11 am - 1 pm at the Springs Funeral Services, 3115 E. Platte Ave., Colo. Spgs, CO.
