I met Eileen and family when I was 10 years old. Her daughter and I became best friends and then Eileen and my mom became best friends. Eileen was like a 2nd mom to me and I have so many fond memories growing up in Sunbury with the families on our road and so many fond memories made in 13400 Trenton Rd. Give my mom a hug and kiss for me. My thoughts and prayers for your family as loosing our loved ones is never easy. You will be missed by many. Rest in Peace Dear Eileen. Love, Glenda Dershem

Eileen Bartholow was truly an incredible woman to me. I could tell she was a loving mother and grandmother by the way she would always remember to send our Pong family (Russ and Irene) a Christmas card each year up until the last couple of years when she struggled with her health. I never had the pleasure of meeting her but her Christmas cards each year and Russ and I have been married 10 years with a short handwritten note made such an impression on me, like she was welcoming me in the family. I could tell by that small act that her capacity to love was truly great, and for that she will always be remembered as a great person! Go with God, Eileen, and look over your wonderful family who will always carry you in their hearts.
