I was an Americorps volunteer at Imago Earth Center and learned so much about community organizing during my tenure. What Jim & Eileen created is truly inspirational and I feel blessed to have been a part of it even for a brief time. The lessons I learned from the Imago community have stayed with me 20 years later and I continue to share them. Eileen will live on through all of those she inspired.
Jim & Susan Vogt
We met Eileen (and Jim) in the early 80's when we moved back to Northern Kentucky. We had an affinity right away for them since they worked together as a couple as we did. And we've always known them as a couple - Eileen and Jim - together. Eileen was very different from Jim, but seemed to bring out the best in him. They had a real interdependent relationship, where both made the other a better person. How lucky you have been, Jim, to have shared 51 years with Eileen.

Such a kind and gentle, yet such a strong force. Her life has had great meaning and purpose and was filled with love by and for so many.

Eileen was a treasured member of the Price Hill Garden Club, where I thoroughly enjoyed her company on the many club outings. Her wealth of experience and her shrewd perspective engaged us all. My fondest memory of Eileen will always be the sparkle in her eye as she shared her quick wit. My sincere sympathy to the family. Price Hill Garden Club shares your loss.

I met Eileen thru Ruth Traut in the 1980's I started going to the First Friday pot luck suppers at Pat Dolan house(because they were free) just bring a dish. I loved the misson of caring for the earth and I joined Imago and became a core member. Eileen always attended all the hundreds of gatherings I went to .She was always warm and welcoming. She kind of stayed in the background were Jim did much of the talking. But Eileen knew how to run a meeting and get us back on track when we veered off on a tangent. She was always so "old shoe" .never formal or stiff. Very friendly. I haven't been in touch for years But I cherish those memories. I'm sorry for her loss. Sue Talbert

Eileen was an inspiration to me in our shared field of social work. She is one of the most gutsy and strong women I have known. She was steady, clear, bright and seemed never afraid to speak up. I remember her offering wise and clarifying insights in meetings - always focused on going forward and finding solutions. And, Eileen was easy to be with - always kind, generous and welcoming. I feel so grateful to her and the many ways she influenced my life and the lives of so many.
