Eileen was a beautiful, well-loved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She spent her long-life building friendships, making people smile, and working hard as a deputy clerk for Scott County Circuit Clerks Office for nearly 30 years. Anyone who was blessed to cross Eileen's path was sure to remember her. She was a devout Christian and a member of Oxford Christian Church in Georgetown, Kentucky. Eileen and Martin owned Country Cabin Antiques in the small community of Oxford. Eileen enjoyed antiquing, quilting, & cheering for the Kentucky Wildcats. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with family.

She is survived by her daughter Jan (Charles) Gaines, four grandchildren, Summer (Shane) Whitaker, Christen (Chase) Allen, Travis Himes, & Cory Gaines, as well as 3 great grandchildren Karter, Kasen, & Caroline.
