Eileen enjoyed and practiced her faith at Saint Dorothy Church in Drexel Hill since 1950. She worked at Saint Dorothy’s library and bowled in Saint Dorothy’s league.

Many memories were shared at 1318 – from her tennis group, “The Virginia Fats”, sitting on the beach with her sisters Judy, Diane and Donna, along with her children, and enjoying the late afternoons on the back porch with family.

She wore many hats, and will be remembered forever as Mom, Mother, Mom-Mom, Honey, Eileen, Mrs. Martin, Aunt Eileen, Doll and Speed.
