My condolences, we were very surprised that we have heard someone mention our family member Eleanor. We have actually lost her daughter Carolyn Stilies last weekend and her services will be on Saturday with Graceland. My family is here discussing memories they had with Eileen and how Eleanor and her would take their familes (Ed, Ellen, Carolyn, and Melba) camping and they were good friends.
i worked at Illinois power on 27th street and that is where I meet Eileen, Bill and Eleanor. First words from Eileen was always – How you doing darling. she always asked how the family was doing and in turn she would tell me about hers . Everyday she would bring the newspaper from the previous day to our department. Eileen was a special lady. you will be truly missed
