Eileen Chatfield Obituary

Former Eagle River resident Eileen Chatfield, 60, died peacefully Oct. 6, 2010, at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle after a 14-year battle with ovarian cancer.

A visitation will be held at 1 p.m. today, followed by a funeral Mass at St. Andrew's Catholic Church, 16300 Domain Lane, Eagle River.

Eileen was born Dec. 31, 1949, to Mary Elizabeth and Edward Keenan Brady in Richland, Wash. She moved to Anchorage in 1981 with her husband and four children. Eileen enjoyed riding horses, horse races, gardening and spending time with her grandchildren.

Her family wrote: "She was a very kind and giving soul. After her cancer diagnosis in 1996 and the death of her youngest son in 1998, she was devastated but remained strong for her family. We are happy she can rest now but she will be deeply missed."

Eileen was preceded in death by her parents, Mary Elizabeth and Edward Keenan Brady; husband, David Lloyd Chatfield Sr.; and son, Miles Austin Chatfield.

She is survived by sons Jason Chatfield of Seattle and David Lloyd Chatfield Jr. of Anchorage; daughter, Leanne Chatfield of Anchorage; grandsons, Austin Ross Chatfield of Grand Junction, Colo., and Hasan Miles Wilkerson of Anchorage.

The family would like to thank Dr. Saul Rivkin and the oncology staff at Swedish Medical Center.

Arrangements were made by Seattle Peoples Memorial Funeral Cooperative and Legacy Funeral Home-Bragaw Chapel.

My deepest sympathies to you all, Eileen will be deeply missed by many. I have so many childhood memories of being with your family, kept in organized chaos by the quiet but strong voice of your mom. May not make it easier for her family here on earth, but she is now at peace with her angels Dave & Miles. My thoughts are with you.

David, Jason, and Leanne--I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother. When you were small children it used to make me smile to see you with Eileen, like little ducks. It seemed like she could handle anything and always look good doing it. My heart is glad that she is reunited with Big Dave and Miles; may you be comforted to know she is out of pain.
