She was active in the schools, participated in church events, and shared her Irish charm with everyone she met. Eileen knew no strangers, only friends.

We have very found memories of aunty Eileen from our childhood when she visited us in Ireland. A warm heart & a wonderful smile. She sponsored me for my J1 visa to the US when I was a student. Always grateful for that. Sending deepest sympathy to the family.

Auntie Eileen you were one of a kind, you gave the best hugs and always made me feel special and so loved. I will treasure the wonderful memories of being with you when you came “home” to Dublin and the amazing holidays you gave us in winding brook way and in red bank. Your gift for packing is renowned in the family. No suitcase was too small to fit a few hundred paper plates and cups and the odd Christmas tree, mum always confidently said “Eileen will make it fit”. We love you so much and will miss you dearly, All our love to Uncle John, Siobhan, Deirdre,Sean,Aileen,Noreen and Auntie Maura, to their families and all our family in America.
God Bless Auntie Eileen , love you xxx

My beautiful Auntie Eileen, so difficult to know what to say as others have already said everything. Just to share my condolences and absolute gratitude for being blessed with such a wonderful Aunt. Infinite cherished memories from visiting as kids when we’d all arrive enmass to take over the Dondero’s pool next door to my solo visits where both Deirdre & Joe and Auntie Eileen & Uncle John would spoil me to pieces whilst letting me stay. Too many moments to share. These tears will fade but the memories, the stories and the sheer adoration shall remain forever. Rest in peace our angel xx

Dearest Aunty Eileen,
I’ve such happy memories of you as a child...giving us the biggest squeezes & bear hugs, the type that made us feel so warm & loved. You were so good to our Mum over the years, always phoning & checking in, not forgetting how you fully supported her love for the slot machines when we visited you along with trips to the pancake parlour & beach days out with your delicious homemade sambos! My kids have you to thank for their first trip to McDonald’s, thanks to the dollars you sent them at Christmas which you specified was to be spent here :) You were one of a kind Aunty, just Magic!

Eileen was very much part of our life from Maryland to Kingsland and Portrane. As kids, she always wanted the top bunk in Portrane. She used to help me feed the pigs in Maryland! We had brilliant holidays together. She always made us co welcome when we came to visit. Her bear hugs were wonderful. She was full of life - hard to keep up with sometimes! We remember her party piece, Shake Hands With Your Uncle Mike Me Boy! And she was so creative - we still have our set of family plates she made us and the grandparents brag book. Eileen was great person to have in your corner. We are going to miss her lots and lots - the family won't be the same.

Eileen, a beautiful lady in every way.
She got her name Eileen from my mother and I got mine from her mother.
We loved to be together especially at Portrane (coast of Dublin).
Eileen loved everybody. When I visited her in New Jersey in the late 1980s she made me feel so welcome.
I've great memories of Eileen as a young woman in Ireland. We always had a great time together when she came back to visit us in Dublin.
I will miss out phone calls, most of all I will miss sweet beautiful you, I always loved you, Eileen.

There are just so many memories that I have of my very special auntie. My first one, when in Ireland, I would stare at her as she applied make up. She had such great style, so beautiful. I loved the amount of hairspray that she'd use. Always looking amazing. I loved how she would call me 'precious'. I'm now realising this week that I may not have been her favourite niece as I had previously thought. It appears we were all precious to her!!!!! And as all the cousins have said, her generosity. She truly was so generous to us all, as children, as adults and to our own children. The pain of losing her is the price for loving her. And she was very much loved by everyone. God bless Auntie Eileen. Thinking of my dear Uncle John, Siobhan, Dee, A and Noreen and all the extended family. Eileen has left us the most precious gift, family.

She was a wonderful Auntie, we loved her coming back to Ireland for her visits and I was privileged to spend times on holidays in America in her and Uncle John's house.
Anyone who knows the Donohoe family knows that we are all very close and cherished our holidays together in Portrane, Dublin and America when we saw each other, all the cousins together!! Auntie Eileen was a real family person and our lives were richer for having her in them.

She was a wonderful Auntie, we loved her coming back to Ireland for her visits and I was privileged to spend times on holidays in America in her and Uncle John's house.
Anyone who knows the Donohoe family knows that we are all very close and cherished our holidays together in Portrane, Dublin and America when we saw each other, all the cousins together!! Auntie Eileen was a real family person and our lives were richer for having her in them.
My condolences to Uncle John and all my cousins, sending all my love to you during this very difficult and sad time.
Barbara Donohoe, Totsie and children xxxx

I’ll always remember going to Aunty Eileen’s house in NJ, we were over from Dublin visiting our Nana Nora but Aunty Eileen always treated us like her own, and was so warm.
Deepest condolences from us here in Ireland.

So sorry. I am truly deeply saddened. Eileen was always there for me with a kind and loving heart and a shoulder to cry on. She always reminded me that God was in charge. I will truly miss her lovely brogue and you knew the joy her family and friends gave her. Her faith was important and she wasn't afraid to share it with others. My heart is broken. May she rest in peace.

Mrs. Flanagan had a heart of gold and a will of stone when it came to doing the right thing and being there for her family and others. She was very kind, saw the best in everyone and loved to share a good laugh. She will be missed dearly.

Deepest Sympathy to you Uncle Jon, Siobhan, Deirdre, Sean, Aileen and Noreen and your families. There are so many memories over here in Dublin of Auntie Eileen that the space here would be way too small to include them all. But everyone is summed up in one word - Generosity - May the Good God reward her for that gift of generosity that she shared with us all. May She Rest In Peace.
