It's with a heavy heart that we share our mom, Eileen McKeon Pesek, passed away on Saturday night. Peacefully and on her own terms, surrounded by her family. She fought stage IV cancer with the strength and fearlessness with which she lived her life. We could not be prouder of our mom. Her accomplishments - including earning a masters degree and being a department administrator in a major hospital simultaneously - and her shepherding of four children and eight adoring grandchildren. The intensity and purity of her love set the standard. And we know how fortunate we were to be in mom's orbit. We will miss you always, mom. Thank you for everything.
Beloved wife of William G. Pesek, loving mother of Noreen (William) Monaghan, William (Eriko Ochai) Pesek Jr., Kathleen Keicher and Thomas (Michelle) Pesek, cherished grandmother of Thomas, Megan, Joseph, Scotty, Emma, Liam, Aidan and Isabella, adored sister of Rita Kerrigan, Rosemary Post, Bernadette Reddington and the late Thomas McKeon, Margaret Burke, William McKeon and Kathleen Hall, and also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
