Eileen Marie Roth (née) Murphy was born January 1, 1947, in Memphis, TN. She died February 9, 2020 in St. Louis, MO. She passed away at home with her family at her side. Eileen is survived by her devoted sister Phyllis (Richard) Hutmacher, her children, Thomas Christian II (Jeanne Reavis), Melinda (John d.) Northrup, William, Celeste (Chris) Schweiger, and cherished grandchildren Thomas Christian III, Victoria, Michael, along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and dear friends. She was recently widowed by her husband Thomas Christian I.

Eileen spent her lifetime nurturing and encouraging everyone she met. She was always ready for any adventure proposed by her children or husband. If you met her you would surely be smiling and laughing in a short time. Her entire family and friends are comforted in knowing Eileen will remain in their hearts, feeling her love and encouragement throughout their lifetime. Her children are beholden to their cousin Karen Hutmacher for allowing Eileen to pass with grace and dignity.

We would like to thank all the friends and family that helped us in the final weeks.
