Eileen worked for most of her life as a caregiver, providing daycare for a short period of time, and then working as a nursing assistant for the Princeton Hospital and Elim Home for over 40 years. Her most important role in her life was being affectionately known as “Nana Hannah” and being an amazing mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and she was very proud of her family. Eileen was a wonderful gardener and her favorite flowers were peonies. She was known for her flare for interior decorating, and she collected over a hundred baskets that she loved. She was also an avid reader and passed along her love of books to her family. Eileen was also a fan of sports and especially loved watching the Minnesota Twins. She had an affinity for old western movies and enjoyed watching Little House on the Prairie, Gunsmoke, and all the old classics. Above all else, Eileen will be remembered for being a kind, creative, and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, coworker, and friend to all who knew her. Blessed be her memory.
