Eileen enjoyed traveling, sewing, making quilts, cooking collecting all sorts of spoons and scrapbooking. She loved to try new recipes and always noted who did and who did not like each one. She enjoyed teaching Sunday School and Bible School at church for many years. She was very active in the Ladies Aide until health problems started limiting her abilities. Eileen also enjoyed sending birthday cards, hand written notes, newspaper clippings as well as inspirational articles to family and friends. She will always be remembered for her kind thoughts and the considerations she showed over the years to all of her family and friends. Following Bud’s death on April, 18, 2010, Eileen moved to Hudson, Wisconsin that same December to be closer to family.
Eileen is survived by her loving children, Larry Bittner of Bozeman, MT and Judy (Doug) LaPitz of River Falls, WI; her grandchildren, Abraham (Katie) Lewis, Elisha (Tonya) Lewis, Nathanial (Jill) Bittner and Megan Bittner; her great grandchildren, Jacob, Elizabeth, Isaac, Josiah, Anabelle and Emma; her siblings, Lorna Adams of Mankato and Barbara (Robert) Anderson of St. Paul Park; her sister-in-law, Dorothy Bittner of Elysian and by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
