STOREY, Dr. Eileen MD, MPH, of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts passed away on September 26, 2021. Daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Patrick Brendan Storey, she was born on August 26, 1951 in Baltimore, Maryland. Eileen is survived by her husband Dr. George Tittmann Record; her daughters Emily Storey Record and Katherine Louise Record; and her sisters Catherine Marie Buddemeyer and Marion Storey Biddle. Her late brother Dr. Thomas Patrick Storey, passed earlier this year. A dedicated physician and public health advocate, she devoted her career to bettering the health and safety of the workforce, teachers, coal miners, nurses, welders, factory workers, and more. She was one of many who created the medical specialty of Occupational and Environmental Health. Eileen was the retired Chief of the Surveillance Branch, Respiratory Health Division at the National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety, as well as Professor Emerita of Medicine at the University of Connecticut Health Center. A graduate of Radcliffe College, Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard School of Public Health, Eileen trained in internal medicine at West Virginia University. She was an avid and talented pianist, an amateur harpist, an enthusiast of the ballet and nature, and a voracious reader. Above all, Eileen was a devoted wife, mother, and friend. She always put her (frequent) concern for others above her own, exhibited endless and extraordinary generosity and patience, and moved mountains to ensure her loved ones were always safe, cared for, and content. She will be deeply and profoundly missed. A Memorial Service will be held at the First Parish Church, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts on Sunday, October 10, 2021 at 2:00PM with a reception to follow at the family's home.

My deepest sympathies. Eileen was truly one of the most dedicated and inspirational people it has ever been my privilege to work with. One of her many contributions to public health was her work with the Environmental Protection Agency, Indoor Environments Division, where she made lasting contributions that continue to help protect people across the globe from indoor exposures.

Eileen and I were medical school classmates and friends. From the first time she addressed the class, her clarity of thought and compassion for others were evident and daunting. She will be missed as a truly beautiful person and a unique force for good.

The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Environmental and Occupational Medicine and Epidemiology Program expresses our deep sadness at the loss of our dear colleague and friend, Eileen Storey. Eileen contributed to our educational programs in many ways - she was an instructor in a multidisciplinary course that focused on the role of science in developing regulations to protect worker health. Also, she was a role model for our physician trainees in our preventive medicine residency program. She brought all of her experience as a preventive medicine physician for 4 decades to our school. She had a keen sense of social responsibility and the importance of incorporating prevention into practice. We will miss her very much and send condolences to her family and friends.

I had the good fortune to work with Eileen as part of NIOSH NORA Service Sector Council & then have her mentor me in the role of co-chair, when she left that role. In addition to the numerous, well-deserved accolades that describe Eileen´s career dedicated to workers´ health & workers´ rights, foremost was Eileen´s warmth, generosity, funny, caring, smiling self. Those of us who got to work with her were blessed by what we learned and how she inspired us and also to be in the glow of such a dynamic woman with such a zest for life. My sincere condolences to family & friends.

1983. Eileen taught Robin and me that you don't change cloth diapers every 15 minutes when damp. Instead, you cover the diaper with rubber britches.

2021 Eileen and George got a house for 4 days in the dead of winter in Acadia Nat'l Park, northern freezing Maine. We 4 had the whole park to ourselves and it was too beautiful for words.

In the intervening decades, a steady river of love, altruism, engagement, adventuresomeness, kindness, humor, accomplishment and many more things harder to express.

We treasure the time we have spent with her and George.

Eileen, lead an effort in southern WV to address the increase in complicated/advanced Black Lung among younger miners. She met with miners, promoted research, and supported lower dust standards. We are very grateful for her dedication to occupational health and safety!!

I remember driving to Boston in 1969 with Dr Patrick Storey, wife and family in 1969. I was starting a job at Wellesley College assisting the admission of 90 black women in an affirmative action program and Eileen was entering Radcliffe as a freshman. Her father drive us up to Boston. We were in sporadic touch after that but always knew what each of us was up to. My deep condolences to the Storey family, great friends of my parents from the Bronx days. Both my parents were at grammar school with Eileen's mother, Mary Flanagan at Sacred Heart and my Grandmother, Adele McCue, and father were life long friends of Eileen´s father, Uncle Pat and his wife, Mary. Eileen was a very bright woman, dedicated and hard working. She went into medicine not be a millionaire in the US´ bizarre health care system but as a public servant who cared about people´s health irregardless of race or class. She will be sorely missed.

Dr. Storey was an incredible public health advocate. I worked with her on several occasions and always enjoyed her formidable intellect but warm and charming style. She will be sorely missed in our very tight-knit occupational health community.
