Eileen enjoyed spending time with her family and loved ones. She loved to go camping with her husband in their RV motorhome.

She continued this bond with all her four-legged granddogs, always there to care and love them. Eileen loved to hold family gatherings and always made sure everyone was fed with her famous german potato salad that has not been replicated.
