Eileen was born December 23, 1926 (Helen Eileen Walker) in Clinton County and spent most of her life in Thorntown, Indiana. She was a beautician for many years, retiring when she was 65. She then went to work at Stookey’s Restaurant in Thorntown, where she retired at the age of 90.
She was an active member of the Thorntown Presbyterian Church in Thorntown for many years. She taught Sunday School, sang in the choir and played in the bell choir, many times playing songs on the bells by herself.
