I love my sister Eileen and will always miss her. We talked daily and visited often. She left us way too soon. Until we meet again, she will be in my heart. Rest in peace!

My sister Eileen was one of my inspirations growing up. She was a teacher before motherhood, earning a Master’s degree as a young mother. She loved her family and animals, especially dogs, and was the go-to for any gardening or home decor questions the rest of us had. She always knew, without hesitation, what the answers needed to be. Above all Eileen was a good, caring person and a wonderful sister, daughter, wife and mother. We are sad to say goodbye for now but thankful that she is now pain free and was able to pass peacefully with both her children beside her in her beautiful home. Thankful that Eileen will now rest eternally in Heaven with Jack but she will be missed terribly here on earth.

We are so sad about the loss of dear Aunt Eileen. She was such a generous, kind, and giving person. I will never forget her compassion and the calm, caring support she gave me during our mom’s illness. My siblings, mom, and I have made a donation in her memory to Best Friends Animal Society, a no-kill shelter & humane society; how fitting and beautiful that her request was as generous as she was. Uncle Jack and Aunt Eileen will be sorely missed; our hearts go out to you all, and we wish - so much - that we could be there. May her memory be a blessing. Love, Kate Hamill

I loved my cousin Eileen. We were in close contact for many years, especially after her mom passed away .

Eileen was an inspiration to all of us. Such strong faith and strong character. We both were dog lovers and both had a dog names Daisy.

So lucky to have had Eileen in my life .

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Eileen. She was a loving, kind, and good hearted person. An excellent parent to Jay & Kristin and devoted wife to Jack. A lifelong best friend to my mother, Monica - they met when they were 16 years old, and became family when Jack married Eileen. May Eileen be with Jack in spirit. Sincerely - Paul “PJ” Hamill (Jack & Eileen’s nephew)

Eileen, it was a privilege to have known you. Our paths crossed ever so briefly during our faith sharing groups at St. Mary's and when I ran into you in the parish hall; Lori and I would be headed to teaching CCD and you were sorting the monthly packages for the food pantry. Until we meet again!
