Eileen was the daughter of Rush and Marion Dodge McMillen. She graduated from Academy High School and, although she worked for the Boston Store for a time, most of her life was spent as a homemaker.
Eileen married Peter Andres and gave birth to sons Thomas and George Robert (Bob). Peter and Eileen divorced in 1947. She then married Rem Hoitinga and bore children Gary, Paul, and Eileen Cynthia (Cindy). She also became the step-mother of Richard Hoitinga. Rem passed away in 1972.
She married Ray Rastatter and became the beloved step-mother of Richard and Karen. When Ray passed away, Eileen married Ray Strawn and became step-mother to his children; Jane, Alan, Kendal, Denny, and Philip.
Eileen was preceded in death by her husbands and by her children Bob Andres, Thomas Andres, Paul Hoitinga, and Richard Rastatter.
Eileen loved to read, work crossword puzzles, and sing. She loved to take "road trips" and had several memorable ones with her daughter-in-law, Melanie. She loved the Lord, animals, and life in general but most of all, she loved her family. She was a happy, sweet, and loving soul and everyone who met her was charmed by her.
She is survived by her loving children; Richard Hoitinga (Anna), Gary Hoitinga (Melanie), Cindy Galena, Karen Swenson (Swen), Jane Caram (Rev. Dan), Alan Strawn, Kendal Strawn (Debbie), Denny Strawn (Ruth), and "honorary" daughters, Karen Adams and Susan Swoger. Many grandchildren and great-grandchildren also survive. We all love Eileen very much and cherish the time that we had together.
