In addition to spending quality time with her husband and sons and helping others, she loved being at the beach, shopping, and dancing with loved ones.


Eileen is survived by a large loving family, including five sisters, three brothers, twelve nieces and nephews, and eight great nieces and nephew. Her sisters Frances Petras, Michelle Stricker, Patricia Aguayo, Kathleen Edwards, and Margaret Brown, and brothers Thomas, Christopher, and Martin Edwards are grateful to have known and loved her as a sister.
