Eileen, a lifelong resident of Stillwater dedicated her life to family, church and community. She was a lifelong member of the Council of Catholic Women, Ladies Auxiliary of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. She started out her role of servant as her mother's right hand and continued by cleaning St. Michael's church and the altar linens for years. As a "Befriender" she visited the homebound and nursing homes, bringing communion, prayer and leading the Rosary. She was a deliverer of "Meals on Wheels", as well as a benchmark blood donor of over 20 gallons. She loved music and could remember all the words and tunes to the music of her era. Without checking, she could tell you the birthday and anniversary dates of all those in her circle of love. The Energizer Bunny would have a hard time keeping up with Eileen-besides the Energizer Bunny can't bake cookies like Eileen! Mass of Christian Burial 11 AM Wednesday July 14, 2010 at ST. MICHAELâ
