Eileen Kerbel Siegel

STEVE, sending condolences on behalf of myself and the class of '62, Milford Mill High school. I just saw the obituary in the Jewish Times. Please share your thoughts of Eileen with your family and also to Donald and Norine. Hold onto all the good memories and share them. She was always a special person. Sandy Rose Sacki and the Class of '62 MMHS 1-22-24

I remember when I first met my future mother-in-law. I volunteered to pick her up at the airport to take her to dinner. She said, pick someplace where she would not know anyone - otherwise, we would be bombarded by people welcoming her back to town. I picked a small neighborhood place in Federal Hill, many miles from her home. As you may have guessed, we walked in and the first three people at the bar got up to hug her. She would call for a reservation in almost any popular restaurant and when they would say there are no reservations left, she would say, "It is Eileen Siegel, you know me. When I walk in you will remember me." And, they always remembered her. Although her blazing light and memory was dimmed by Alzheimer's, our memory of her energy, smile, and morning vacuum cleaner has not! Rest in peace, although I am sure you will not get any rest for at least the first few days due to the number of parties you will be invited to!! Love, Steven
