Eileen Zeebuyth

Eileen Zeebuyth, 62, of Napoleon, Ohio, passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025, after a courageous battle against multiple health problems. Eileen was born in New Hartford, New York on September 25, 1963, to the late Vic and Eleanor Eghigian. In Washington, she met Jeff Zeebuyth, and they were married on July 3, 1993. In 1998, Eileen and Jeff welcomed their only daughter Lena Zeebuyth into the world.
Raised in New Hartford, she always had a deep love for her family and friends. She was an intelligent woman who attended both St. Bonaventure University and Cornell University, where she graduated and studied industrial and labor relations. Eileen had a career as a valued human resources professional across the country, including California, Washington, Michigan, Florida, Texas, and here in Napoleon, Ohio with Campbell Soup. She led with kindness and integrity as a beloved team member.
As an animal lover, Eileen opened her home to many rescue dogs during her life: big and small. She also had a love for capturing memories through photography, playing a hand of poker, and listening to music. Her favorite activity was spending time with family, including traveling back to her childhood home in New Hartford for Christmas and annual visits to her sister, Jeanne Eghigian in Oklahoma.
Eileen is survived by her husband, Jeff Zeebuyth; daughter, Lena Zeebuyth; as well as many other family members and friends who span the nation. She was preceded in death by her parents, Vic and Eleanor Eghigian; sister, Jeanne Eghigian; and brother, Robert Eghigian. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Henry County Humane Society or a charity of your choice to help rescue pets find their forever home.
