Obituary

On April 29, 2016, Age 63. Of Sewell. Formerly of Gloucester City,  Eileen passed away in the forever loving and devoted care of her husband of 41 years, Carl, and their son Mario. She is the daughter of Madeline Agnew and the late Joseph P. Underwood. Beloved sister of Faith, Joe and the late Dan Underwood. She is survived by many loving and caring family and friends. Carl and Mario are deeply appreciative of those who would visit and spend happy times with Eileen in conversation, watching movies, and comforting her. Eileen was so loved by many. She touched everyone in her life. She was such a wonderful individual whose departure has left a void in the hearts of many. Eileen was so beautiful inside and out. She was a saint in the eyes of everyone. During her battle with ALS, she was a realist, facing her battle with dignity and grace, never feeling sorry for herself and thankful that It was she with this disease and not her family. Eileen devoted her life to her husband and son. It is with great sadness she is no longer here; the only compensation is that she is no longer suffering. Eileen used facial recognition software to communicate when ALS took her ability to use her hands. Here is a quote she posted on Twitter: "ALS cannot rob my capacity to love and appreciate, nor can it take my spirit that believes life is beautiful. Everyday on earth is a gift". We will always have you in our hearts.
