Eileen was a twin, a reader, a poet, a dancer, a librarian, a storyteller, a fiber artist, a painter, a wife, a mother, several kinds of friend, a gallery-goer, a playgoer, a music-listener, a listener to children, both her own and not her own: a woman of strong opinions with a taste both for nobility and for waifs and strays.

Her tribal allegiances were to the Irish Catholic left and the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. She espoused a midwestern patriotic belief in peace, justice, racial equality, religious tolerance, and the necessity of our helping the poor since the rich help themselves.

She loved God, beauty, her husband, her twin, her children, her siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews and an enormous extended family running from blood-kin to married kin to ex-students to friends of friends. She was so interested in so many things that only the gap she leaves behind will shadow them forth over time.
