Our mom found joy in the simple things in life. It didn’t take much to bring out that genuine smile. She enjoyed spending time outside in her backyard soaking up the sun whenever she got the chance. She really loved anything to do with the outdoors, especially being on the lake. When we reflect on what my mom loved, or her hobbies, the most significant thing that comes to mind is her five children. She was the most selfless mother and gave all of herself to her five kids. Her greatest joy was her family and more importantly to her these days, her grandkids. We all hope one day to be as strong, grateful, honest and genuine as she was. She was truly a beautiful soul, and she will be deeply missed.

Eddie and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I loved Eileen like a sister. Taco and I would call her ‘Olive Oil’! She loved her children and grandchildren so much, but not as much as you Eddie! She adored you! I will see you on Friday the 21st. May God bless the family and have Eileen sitting next to him in heaven! Mary Kranz

I have the honor of working with Bridget, and while I never had the opportunity to meet Beloved Eileen, I can tell the impact she had earthside based on how wonderful of a person Bridget is, and the beautifully written eulogy. On behalf of myself and Cort Furniture, I offer my sincerest condolences for your grave loss, and pray comfort for your family. God bless you all!
