Eileen Gummersall Boyle, age 70, died April 19, 1998, in Provo, Utah after battling breast cancer for nine years. Throughout her bout with cancer, she maintained a positive attitude and fought long and hard.

She volunteered at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center for many years, serving in excess of 8500 hours. She established the Patient Hair Care program there and was past president of the Volunteers Auxiliary.
One of her great pleasures was cheering on her five grandchildren at their soccer and baseball games. We all loved her dearly and will greatly miss her.
