Eileen Youtie Obituary
June 10, 1954 - March 15, 2021
Aventura, Florida - Eileen Winkler Youtie passed away peacefully on Monday, March 15th, 2021. She is survived by the love of her life, her husband Philip Youtie, daughter Haleigh Youtie, son Maxwell Youtie, sister and best friend Sheila Slewett, nephew Gregory Slewett, and niece Danielle Zimmerman. She was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on June 10th, 1954, to Harold Leighton Winkler and Rose Kotler Winkler. She grew up in Pittsburgh surrounded by her large Kotler family. At the age of 12, she moved to Miami Beach with her sister and mother. She graduated from Miami Beach High and the University of Miami, after spending two years at Syracuse University. Before starting her family, Eileen was a career woman. She began her career as an accountant until opening up her own firm called Small Business Funding. In her thirties, she met her soulmate, Phil. They got married on October 29, 1994, and started their amazing life together. Once Haleigh and Max were born, their loving family was complete and they traveled the world together. Later in life, she dedicated herself to charity. She spent years helping underprivileged high school women through Women of Tomorrow, fulfilling the dreams of Israeli children with terminal illnesses through Larger Than Life, and helping anyone and everyone who needed it. She devoted her life to her family, friends, Judaism, and her immense amount of charity work. After being diagnosed with breast cancer and testing positive for the BRCA gene at age 58, she found her newest mission in life which was to get everyone of Ashkenazi heritage tested for the BRCA gene. She saved hundreds of lives in the process by working with the Yodeah foundation. She was the brightest light in every room, an angel on Earth, and every person she met was better for having known her. Her family will continue her charitable legacy and in lieu of flowers they are asking for donations to Women of Tomorrow and Larger Than Life in her honor. There will be a zoom funeral, please contact a family member for details. Arrangements by Levitt Weinstein Blasberg Rubin Zilbert www.levitt-weinstein.com

As I was driving from West Palm Beach, Florida, to my hometown of Boca Raton, Florida, I saw David’s bridal store. Once I saw that store, I thought about the years I worked for Loehmanns Inc. (now defunct) from 2001 to 2002. I remember Eileen as one of our notable clients; she was there all the time, and she was so sweet. I decided to look her up and find out she had passed away. I’m so sorry to hear that, and my condolences to the family. May her memory be a blessing. She always lit up the room when she came into the store. She is truly missed.

In the time of her life, she truly lived. Eileen was a mensch in every sense of the word. Her physical beauty was matched only by her overwhelming kindness and generosity. My heart goes out to Phil, the children and their entire family and I wish you peace at this devastating time.

We were so blessed to have the family we had. I have some of the most beautiful memories of us growing up as children, and when we became adults.
Eileen, your beautiful smile and goodness will be missed by us all.
Rest In Peace Leanie
I love you

Eileen was a very sweet girl in high school. We met at Beach Hi, also where I met my best friend Pam Green. We all were good friends and we all bonded with my aunt, Mrs. Vera Lewis Edington, who taught Biology there as well. After high school I hadn’t seen many of my old friends, not until one of our milestone class reunions. And that’s the last time I saw her. It seems as if time stood still for all of us because no one had aged at all!!!! 2022 will be the 50th Anniversary for the “Proud and True; Class of 1972”!!!
Eileen, you will be sorely missed. May GOD give you HIS peace as your soul rests in the bosom of Abraham.

Eileen was a force to be reckoned with. Her beauty emanated through her Personna. Her good deeds and love of life will remain forever. A life cut short but her legacy will endure forever
