“Children are the rainbow of life, grandchildren are the pot of Gold.”

Eileen's life revolved around her 4 children. They were her greatest joy. Teaching Christian Formation, being a class mother, Girl Scout Leader, Cub Scout committee person, sport team volunteer & helping form various groups benefiting her children over their growing years was her sole focus. Eileen's second passion, after her children, was working as a Teaching Assistant at ECLC of NJ for 25 years, which she never considered to be work, but her second family.
