Drenda K. Eilenberger

Born: February 2, 1947, Visalia, California

Departed: November 3, 2025, Madera, California

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Drenda Keynell Eilenberger, a cherished member of the Our House Residential Care family since 2004. Throughout her time with us, Drenda's personality, warmth, and independent spirit touched the lives of all who knew her.

Drenda was born in Visalia, California on February 2, 1947, to Eugene and Flora Eilenberger. She was the oldest of 4 girls. From early on, she maintained close and loving relationships with her siblings and their children, building a strong family network that filled her life with companionship, laughter, and deep affection.

Drenda was an avid sports fan, especially cheering on her beloved Fresno State Bulldogs.

Drenda's life was a testament to resilience and the power of connection. She showed us how one person's authentic care and presence can shape a community, offering solace and joy in equal measure. Her legacy lives on in the memories we hold and, in the ways, we choose to treat one another-with kindness, patience and heart.

She is survived by her beloved sisters, Maureen and Diana, and their families which include many nieces and nephews who held her in such affection. Although she will be deeply missed, we take comfort in knowing that Drenda's spirit of warmth and gentleness remains with us and will continue to guide our community at Our House Residential Care and STAR Center Adult Day Program.

A memorial will be held in honor of Drenda's life, which will be held on November 11th, 2025 at Jay's Chapel

in Madera, beginning at 10:00a.m.

May Drenda rest in peace, forever remembered and forever missed.
