Eileen was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother whose life revolved around her family. Nothing made her happier than to share a home-cooked meal around the holidays. She loved living in Saint John and was grateful for community she found in the 20 years she lived on island. Never to shy away from a good time, Eileen loved to laugh, put a smile on your face, play games around the dinner table and share a toast with friends and family.
She was loved dearly, and will truly be missed.
A private ceremony will be in April 18th in Saint John USVI.
