She will be sorely missed by all. Eileen had a life with much adversity and trials, but wore a smile through it all. She counted herself a wealthy woman and she possessed a heart of solid gold. Remember the smiles! A Visitation will be held on Sunday Sept. 16th from 4-7 at Memorial Gardens Funeral Home Chapel. Funeral Services will be held on Monday Sept. 17th at 2:00pm at Memorial Gardens Funeral Home Chapel.

I will cherish the many memories I have of my sweet, Aunt Eileen. She was not only an Aunt, but a great friend. I could tell her anything and be myself, and she never judged me. I knew if I neeed her, she would always be there for me with her support and loving ways. I will not forget her eyes as they sparkled when she smiled and laughed. We had many good times together that will not be forgotten. I loved her dearly and will miss her so!
