Eileen was a 1975 graduate of Hall-Dale High School and a 1977 graduate of Thomas College. Eileen was employed by International Paper Company and later in the banking industry for MBNA Corporation and Bank of America.

After her retirement, she took great interest in politics and was always ready and willing to discuss the events and issues of our time, and was fearless and unwavering in her beliefs.
In her later years, Eileen enjoyed watching Urban Explorers as she loved watching people uncover amazing history in the most random of places. Eileen was a kind, loving and free-hearted person who enjoyed people and gave generously of her time and talents to her friends and family. She was entirely devoted to her family and her faith.
She was an especially proud grandmother and her two grandchildren gave her tremendous joy and pride. She was a loyal friend, a great listener with a remarkable sense of humor, and expressed great joy and wonder at the natural world and animals.
