Eileen Larsen, 79, of Port Richey, Florida, passed away January 4, 2021 following a sudden, brief illness. Eileen passed away peacefully with her family by her side.
Eileen was born in Brooklyn, NY. She married Victor Larsen, Jr. in 1961 in Brooklyn, NY and they moved to Andes, NY following Victor’s graduation from the State Police Academy. In addition to raising a family, Eileen was a legal secretary for Herman Gottfried in Margaretville and later a billing administrator at Margaretville Memorial Hospital. They retired in 2000 and moved to Hudson, Florida to enjoy the fun and sun of the Gulf coast.
She is survived by her children Paul (Barbara) Larsen of Seneca, SC; Elizabeth (Michael) Steeno of Flagstaff, AZ; and Steven Larsen of Spring Hill, FL; grandchildren Ashley DeBonis, Lucas Larsen and Justin Steeno. She is also survived by her brother Gerald of Marlboro, NJ and several nieces and nephews, numerous cousins, and many friends.
Eileen was a member of the Methodist Church of Andes, NY and Hudson, FL. She volunteered at the First UM Church in Florida and the church thrift store. Eileen loved entertaining guests, and she was a phenomenal cook! Her family recipes will be treasured forever, especially the cookies! She also loved her annual trek from Florida to NY to continue long-time friendships, and visit family and friends up and down the East Coast. Everyone looked forward to her visit and the treats she might bring.

There will be no services at this time, and a memorial service will be planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to either the Methodist Church in Andes, NY or the First United Methodist Church in Hudson, FL.
