Eileen worked in education as a primary school teacher and librarian while also creating a warm and inviting home which she and her husband shared with visiting scholars from around the world.

Those guests enjoyed her cooking and baking talents that were familiar to her family. She enjoyed traveling around the US and the world with her husband and as an art history enthusiast.
