My first job was at the Athens National Bank in 1969. I believe Eileen was the only woman officer at the time, and everyone liked and admired her. She was a true class act.

She was such a lovely, kind, and thoughtful lady. I'm glad I was able to get to know "Grandma" in the few short years after I met her. She will be missed by many and loved by all. Fly High Grandma.
