Enjoying variety and challenges, Eileen was an entrepreneur, a teacher for 35 years, and administrator for the Iranian Embassy. She loved her grandchildren, movies, enjoyed traveling, good food and was an avid reader.

Later in life she met the love of her life Stan Buchanan. For 15 years they shared the joys of travel, music and dance, wit and humor. Five years ago she suffered a serious stoke but Stan remained devoted to her and they continued to enjoy family and friends and attend events made possible in part by the many generous donations for the “Van for Stan”.
