Eileen was the beloved matriarch of her family … a devoted wife, loving mother, proud grandmother, adored great grandmother, and cherished friend. She was an avid sewer who enjoyed creating curtains, costumes, and countless items for those she loved. She treasured time spent playing cards and bingo with family and friends.

Eileen found her greatest happiness in being present for every milestone, celebration, and sporting event involving her grandchildren. Her love, support, and enthusiasm for her family were unwavering.

A devoted parishioner of St. Joseph’s Parish in West Milford, NJ, Eileen was deeply involved in parish life for many years. She generously volunteered her time helping organize countless bazaars, serving on parish committees, and supporting the church community in any way she could. After retiring to Florida, she joined St. Ignatius Church in Tarpon Springs, where she served as a Eucharistic minister. Her faith and dedication to others were guiding forces throughout her life.
