Eileen was a 1947 graduate of the former St. John High School in Maria Stein. She was also a member of St. Peter Catholic Church and the church's Christians Mother Sodality. In Eileen's earlier years she was dedicated to raising her family and being a devoted farm wife. She was a humble and selfless person who always put everyone else's needs before her own.
