I'm not even sure where to begin - I have known Eileen for many, many years. Wendall and my dad (George Loney) were friends from childhood and when Eileen and Wendall married it was the start of many wonderful memories. Time spent with my parents and them on picnics, dinners, playing bumper pool, and so much more. My mom (Roberta Loney) and I would visit her whenever we came to town from AZ and she was considered family in many ways. I will always remember her smile and laughter. She was a strong woman, a dedicated nurse and made friends wherever she went. She will be missed. I wish her family comfort in good memories.

Eileen wasn't a family member, but as a close friend of my mother for decades, I thought of her as my aunt. As did my daughter. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful. She was that person who sent greeting cards for no reason other than to let you know she was thinking of you. She was that guest who always came to your home with a bottle of wine or something she baked. She had a great sense of humor with amazing stories from her varied life experiences. She was so proud of her daughter and all she had accomplished, as well as her beloved great-grandchildren George and Amelia. I will miss her dearly. May she rest in peace.
