Eileen’s zest for life was contagious, she greeted everyone with her beautiful smile, she truly lit up a room. Eileen loved the beach. She was spontaneous and always ready for an adventure and fun. Whether it was a day at the beach, a boat ride, jet skiing, snowmobiling, a trip anywhere – she was ready. She loved children, especially her nieces and nephews that she referred to as her “babies.” Eileen had a generous and giving soul. She accepted everyone and was always ready to help a friend in need. She lived exactly how she wanted to and she had a million stories to tell. Eileen was a gift to her family and anyone who was lucky enough to know her. Her memory will live forever in our hearts, she was truly loved by everyone.
