A devout Catholic, she loved her parish family at St. Charles Borromeo in Gardiner, with friends too numerous to mention. She volunteered at Helping Hands Food Pantry and as a retired bank teller she enjoyed counting the weekly collection. Eileen could always be found at 4:30 mass on Saturdays dressed to the nines with her dear friend, Abby.
Eileen loved her family, friends and God. She had an incredible sense of humor, enjoyed dancing and sweets and she had a beautiful way of seeing the good in everyone. She was a kind, gentle woman and will be missed by many.
