Many years of working with Eilleen has given us so much to remember and be thankful for. Her care, concern and love for all was ever evident as she worked with the members of the Credit Union and all those she cared about.
May the Lord’s blessings be with each of you as you, and we, can recall the wonderful times that made up the life of Eilleen and the love she shared.
I too shared paths with Emily durign our high school years and have fond memories of her. Now, as many, I am saddened that she is gone but I know she is in the good hands of our Lord! My condolences to the family.
When I moved to Wapato and started the 4th grade, Eilleen took me under her wing. We lived about a mile from each other and Eilleen would write letters to me during the summer. A wonderful friend.
My thoughts go out to you, Glenn, and your family. My memories of Eilleen in school are fond ones. She was a good friend and classmate. God bless you and her beautiful life.

Dear Glenn & Girls and to Shirley and Rachael. I am so sorry to hear of Eilleen’s passing. Kay and I were talking not too long ago and wondering where you were. Wow..has it been that long since you two started dating? I know you had a wonderful life together and will miss her lots. Take comfort that the second half of her life after she met you was the best.
My thoughts are with you Shirley. I know that you were like a mother to Eilleen and gave her so much. Hope to hear from you Glenn..
Glenn and Family, I can remember all the fun we had together in School. She will always be missed but she will always be in my heart. I will always remember all the thing we did that we didn’t get caught at, we had fun. your Friend Kay Henderson McKail
