I’m so saddened to hear of Eileen’s passing. She was always my eyes on my paperwork and she always looked out for me while she worked at MPC. Prayers to you Charlie and your boys.
Charlie and family — Eileen was a delight to work with and I was always impressed by her spark and vigor when discussing topics that she was passionate about. She will be missed by many of us who will remember her as a strong woman with her own opinions, desires and interests. My life was made all the better from knowing and working with her. Hugs to all!

To Charlie and family, I was saddened to read of Eileen’s passing. She was a wonderful person and had such an engaging smile and attitude. Many years have passed since I lived in Grand Forks, but I still have warm feelings for my friends there. Though death may take away the physical being, nothing can steal the wonderful feelings that we share from a departed wife, mother, or friend. My thoughts and prayers are with Charlie and his family. I pray that you all are surrounded by the support that you need during this time of grief.
What a nice lady,first class all all the way.An absolute pleasure to know and work with. Always there to do what needed to be done without any baggage or complaint. Also, it didn’t take long to realize she had a deep love for her Charlie and her boys. Lots of good memories this morning. God Bless

So sorry for your loss Charlie. Just remembering all the good laughs we had with Eileen at work. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Charlie and family, So sorry to hear of Eileen’s passing. We have many fond memories of all the boys’ games so long ago. Eileen was great to work with at Minnkota too – always had a fun story or two to tell. May you find comfort in each other at this time.
Larry and Ken, my sincere condolences on the loss of your sister, Eileen. Siblings are a special gift from God and memories of her will always be there for you.

To Eileen’s Family: I am so saddened to know that Eileen has passed from Covid. (My dad, Clarence, also passed from Covid at Lilac Homes on May 1st.) It was always such a joy to see Eileen when I visited Dad. I remember her smile, cheerfulness and “OK” , “Really”. She was a beautiful and spirited woman. Please accept my condolences and hope for peace and comfort to all of you at this difficult time.
Thinking of you and wishing you moments of peace and comfort-from Phil and Cassie LaBine, Kristy Matson-Sandy, and Kim Matson-Houle.

Yes, gone too soon. We are truly sorry for your loss. Our condolences to you and your family on the passing of Eileen from COVID-19. She was a beautiful wife, a great mother, a grandmother too, a sister, and a friend to all who knew her. She will be missed because she meant so much to so many people. At Minnkota, I knew her to be quiet and worked diligently in the Accounting Department and including being a Switchboard Operator. May peace be with you and your family at this time of grieving and forever. Helen, John and Jon Evans
