A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, January 29, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 516 De Pere Street, Menasha. Visitation will be held from 9:30 am until the hour of the Mass at the church. Entombment will take place at the Shrine of Heaven Mausoleum in Neenah. In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to every single person at Oakridge Gardens that touched our mother's heart and ours that made her feel welcome for the past two years. Also a heartfelt thank you to Eileen's wonderful roommate, Dolores Smith, for her friendship and keeping our mother company for the past two years.
We would also like to thank the staff of St. Elizabeth Hospital and the staff of Heartland Hospice for their comfort and care.

My sympathies to Eileen's family and extended family. She was such a sweet sweet lady, our caregivers loved to go there. Even when we started care for her at her condo, she was ready to get out the door and serve pie to the Knights of Columbus...social, and taking care of others...

My sympathies to the entire Foth family. I remember the summers I'd come to Menasha to visit my Grandma & Grandpa and be excited to come to your house. Your mom was always happy and cheerful.

Pat,
We are so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. No matter how long someone is ill, we are never really prepared for the loss. Although you'll miss her every day, much of her spirit lives on in you - and you'll feel it more and more as time passes.
You are in our prayers.

We are very sorry for your loss. Eileen was a neighbor of mine when I was married to Loretta who died in 2009. I knew her husband Wilbur very well. We went on retreats together and were members of the Knights of Columbus. Eileen was a good cook and Loretta & I enjoyed our times together with her & Wilbur. May God bless her family and give them peace and strength during this difficult time.
