The Bridgewater Garden Club shared this about Eileen: This amazing lady has been co-chair of our Christmas Greens Sale for many years, program chairman of the evening club and is an avid gardener in her own yard. As a floral designer she has held workshops to encourage club members not to be afraid to design, just “do it”. When she's not working on Garden Club business, she is also a talented artist. We appreciate everything you do for the club and the community.

Eileen was a matriarch of her large family, who held and shared treasured stories and family traditions. Like her mom, she loved cooking and baking and providing delicious treats for all to enjoy. One of her favorite things was sharing a good meal around the table with family. A lover of the outdoors who especially took pride in her beautifully abundant gardens which brought about her love for all the beautiful birds that came to enjoy them with her.

Animals held a special place in her heart, with some of her best buddies being Bingo, Bella, Maxi, Jose and Christopher's cat Missy. She will be remembered affectionately for the special books she gifted to the people she loved, sharing her love of reading and handwriting heartfelt messages in each one. In the short 69 years she had on Earth, she lived her life to the fullest with lots of laughter, always enjoying the little things and surrounding herself with positivity and good friends.
