We cherish our memories from many years of knowing Eileen and her family and we were blessed to be able to visit with her in Nov., 2010. She was always her cheerful and kind self. We will miss her greatly and extend our love and sympathy to all the family.
Beloved Grandma and much loved “Grammy” will be so very, very missed. I’ve never been prouder of my middle name. My Grandmother defined the name Eileen with unconditional love. From the twinkle in her eye to her sweet, sweet smile, you never had to wonder if she loved you. Grandma has showered our family in so much love for as long as I can remember.
Just a few of my favorite memories include: camping at Findley State Park, Christmas Eves with piles of presents Grandma had collected throughout the year, “tiles” games, neatly folded clothes picked with love for me or for my daughter that smelled so, so sweet – like Grammy’s house, the warmth felt from a cup of tea with Grandma, her proud smile looking down the row at us on the occasions when her family filled the pew at North Eaton Baptist Church, talks on the porch swing, watching my daughter cuddle up to her Grammy just the way I had and Grandma’s long loving good-byes filled with hugs, kisses, I love yous and even when you were pulling out of the drive way Grandma wouldn’t stop waving and blowing kisses till you were completely out of her sight.
My last memory of Grandma is her blowing us a kiss as we left her nursing home just a few weeks ago. Even though Grandma now is out of our sight, we can be comforted knowing she is present with her Lord. We are so very blessed to have been love by Eileen Simmons.
When I was eleven and sixteen Grandma Let us come visit her in Ohio. We had the best adventures, camping, Cedar City, museums. I loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa.
Grandma would come and see us in Arizona every couple of years, she would do all kinds of neat things. I was eight and she taught me how to sew. We would go on long walks in the desert and my sisters and I would show her all the neat plants.
I have so many memories of my grandma. I remember them most through pictures. She loved taking pictures, which intensifies my memories.
As an adult I have come and visited a few times and loved every minute of it. Grandma never judged me. She never said anything negative about how I was living my life. She was never negative around me, ever, always sweet and faithful.
I miss you Grandma, I love you very much, thanks for loving me too.

Dear Darlene,
I am so sad to know "Mom" is gone. I have so many cherished memories of her and your Dad. However, I am thrilled that she is feeling no pain and one day we will see her and your Dad in heaven! She was an awesome lady in every sense of the word! In all the years I've known her (about 45), she did not utter an unkind word in my presence. She was the perfect Grandma to my chidren and they adored her. Kailey and Ellie were blessed to know and lovingly call her Grammy. As for me, I truly felt loved unconditionally - she treated me as a daughter and I loved her as my Mother. She always was able to stay ahead of me! Even the night before she died, I told her I loved her and in her strained little voice, she said, "I love you more!"
Your Dad would be so proud of the unending devotion and selfless care you gave "Mom" these long months. Your care not only honors her, but also honors God. You gave day after day from early to late and also many, many all night watches to see "Mom" was cared for properly. Your Mother was so blessed to have your loving care.
God Bless You! I know Timothy and your other children have been a great support for you in caring for your Mother, during your own illness, and wil be there for you in the future. God will honor your faithfuness. "Sis," as you've called me throug the years, I love you!
