ANN AUSTIN Obituary

March 14, 1945 - June 10, 2014 Eileen was the first of two daughters born to Lawrence H. (Bub) Austin and Betty Nelle Upton Austin. Her parents and two sons, Sammy Palasota and Jason Copenhaver, preceded her in death. She is survived by her son Joseph (Jody) Palasota, her sister, Elaine Sayre (David) and several grandchildren. Eileen requested no memorial service, cremation, and that donations be made in her name to The Wounded Warrior Project or The ASPCA.

Eileen was my college roommate and we remained close friends for many years. She will always live on in my heart until one day we meet again. May God comfort all of her family until then....Randa Boulter Gruwell

Elaine,
I am very sorry for the loss of your sister Eileen. She was a beautiful girl. I remember sitting across from her once at lunch at Rockwood and thinking how beautiful she was, and reminding me of beautiful Natalie Wood.
Sincerely, Janet Sutton class of 62'

Eileen and Elaine (Tootsie) were my neighbors on Blue Ridge. We attended Pitcher Elementary together from Kindergarden through 6th grade when my family moved away. That meant that I saw them nearly every day during grade school and I had a crush on both...they were beautiful young girls. To Eileen's family and her dear sister Elaine: please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. You both gave me so many fond memories and enriched my early childhood. Be at peace, Eileen. And may God bless you, Tootsie.
