Eileen met her future husband, American soldier Charles E. Devecka, at a USO dance in 1944.

She was also a wonderful cook and an excellent baker, and instilled a deep love for her rich English heritage in her family. Her quiet manner, paired with a quick wit, a sharp sense of humor, and a kind heart endeared her to all who knew her.
