She attended Prince Elementary School in Boston, graduated from Waltham High School and received a Bachelor of Arts from Bridgewater State University, majoring in English with a German minor, a degree which she carried through her adulthood in all her travels!

Eileen was a proud store owner at Buckles & Boards Ski and Surf for over 42 years. She ran endless weekend ski trips in New England for all the local skiers and yearly ski excursions to Austria for those yearning more adventure.

Eileen was the most incredible travel agent, planning dozens of trips for other customers to ski and her most favorite, personal travel to European countries with her husband John, friends and cherished family. She always held a soft spot for Ireland, from where her family originated.

Eileen was always up for nearly any adventure, one of the most energetic, fun loving and friendly people to know. When not working or traveling, Eileen's passion was gardening with her husband John. Together they created one of the most spectacular backyard gardens in Green Harbor.

Eileen loved spending time with her grandchildren, taking the opportunity to travel with them and pass along her knowledge of culture and history.
