Forever Loved, Forever in Our Hearts

Eileen was a woman with a heart bigger than words could ever fully describe. Kind, nurturing, and thoughtful, she had a natural way of caring for others, always giving whatever she could, even when it meant leaving little for herself. She was the kind of person who would give until she had nothing left, because making sure the people she loved were cared for came so naturally to her. Her generosity was not something she had to think about; it was simply who she was.

Eileen had a beautiful spirit and a heart that always seemed to have room for one more person to love. Some of Eileen's greatest joys in life were her children and grandchildren, her garden, her houseplants, and music. She found happiness in watching things grow, tending to her plants and surrounding herself with the things she loved. There is something beautiful about a woman who spent so much of her life nurturing others and helping things flourish. 

Her family was a cherished part of her life. She leaves behind her beloved children, Michael, Jessica, Justin, Kayla, and Charles. Her grandchildren, Michael, Benjamin, Lukas, Nicholas, Tia, Wyatt, Tianna, Zy'kel, Zy'mel, Zy'lah, Zy'rell, Alyssa, Adalynn, Madison, Cruz, Alexander, as well as great- grandaughters, Gaia and Nalani. She was preceded in death by her beloved granddaughter, Ashlynn. Eileen leaves behind many nieces and nephews and an abundance of others whose lives she touched.

Eileen was preceded in death by her parents, Eleanor and Loren, and her siblings John, Carol, and Ellen. She is survived by her siblings Janet, Alice, Gary, Betty, Paul, and Steven.  Like a garden that returns with new blooms each season, the love she planted will continue to grow through the generations of her family.

Eileen was one of a kind. Her kindness, her nurturing spirit, her thoughtfulness, and her enormous heart made her someone who will never be forgotten. 

She spent her life giving pieces of her heart to others. Now, those pieces will live on forever in the people who loved her.

Eileen's life will be honored at a private ceremony. Family and friends are encouraged to leave a message or memory on the online guestbook at, www.eneafuneralhomes.com.
