She married the love of her life, George Randolph Brooks, on February 13, 1960.  First and foremost, Eileen was a dedicated wife and mother.  She treasured her husband and their three children and embraced every moment with them.  She especially loved her role as 'Nanny' to her eight grandchildren.

Eileen believed in the importance of respect, honesty and good manners and ruled with a firm hand to instill these values into her children.  She had a feisty personality and delightful sense of humor and was loved by all who met her.

Eileen left behind a huge group of people who will miss her including her daughter & son-in-law Joan and Mathew Hounslow and son, George Brooks Jr., all of Springfield, MO;  her son Glen Brooks and daughter-in-law Mary Ann Root of The Colony, TX; sisters – May, Barbara, Jean, Jane & Joan and brothers Donald & Ronald and siblings-in-law Ricky & Denise Brooks.  Additionally sharing in this loss are her grandchildren - Matthew and his wife Stephanie, Jesse, Brandon, Geoffrey, Garrett, Stephanie, Gunnar & Lyric; her great-grandchildren Killian, Aubrey, Cameron, Rebecca, Lucas, Bentley and Marshall as well as countless other family and friends... All of whom she loved dearly.
