I worked with Eileen in the State Police Recruitment Section for a number of years, she was a dedicated, honest, and committed employee. Having served in the U.S. Navy she was very proud of her service. She was fun to be around, always positive and upbeat. She will be missed and I am very sorry to hear of her passing. Col. R.T. Davis, ret., Director, Michigan State Police

I only met Eileen a few times, but I've known her son Roy for years. I enjoyed visiting with her and wish I'd had a chance to hear more of her 'stories' as she clearly had an amazing life. Roy, I know she will be missed by you - she was clearly so proud of you. Beckie and Ken, I was honored to meet you and witness what true family love is all about. Ray, my prayers go to you during this difficult time.

Aunt Eileen was the most amazing woman ever. She was very dedicated to her family, friends and her country. She suffered tragic losses and still stood strong and proud. She had a significant impact on my life as well as those around her and will be truly missed. We can all be assured that she will continue to watch over us and smile upon us each and every day. We Love you Aunt Eileen!!!! Beckie and Ken
