Eileen's eyes lit up when she talked about meeting her husband, John. It was in Bridgeville and she said that when she 1st caught sight of him she almost spilled her coffee! It was his looks and his smile. She knew it was love at 1st sight. They were married for 45 years.

Eileen and John raised 4 children and their family has also grown to include 8 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren as well.

Eileen worked as a bartender in the establishment that they owned as well as assisting in many projects of construction.

Eileen said she was the true representative of a 'boat person'. Her happiest times were on the Allegheny River with all of the friends that she made. They shared good weather, good times, and lots of laughs.
Along with boating and traveling the river by pontoon, she was also very creative and crafty. Her past hobbies were with ceramics, woodwork, and gardening.
