Eileen CASHIN

Eileen Therese Elizabeth Cashin (née Murray), 97, passed into eternal rest on Dec. 10, 2021 at home with her daughter by her side.

She was born to Charles and Elizabeth Murray on Oct. 16, 1924 in Manhattan, New York. Eileenʼs childhood was nothing short of magical. She was the most important person in the world to her parents and her beloved Nana, who resided with her.

Eileen spent her formative years in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. It was here that she excelled as a student and was awarded the Valedictorian of the St. Joseph High School, Class of 1943. After a few college courses, Eileen entered the work force at Morgan Guaranty Trust in Manhattan. This was the meeting place of her future husband, Edward, who had just returned from serving his country in the Coast Guard at the conclusion of World War II. The pair wed on June 8, 1947.

Eileen and Ed, over the next 15 years, became parents to four children. They raised their family in Hillsdale. Motherhood was Eileenʼs calling and what a mother! She showered her children with unconditional love and support. She enjoyed teaching religious education classes and sharing her time with the Girl Scouts as a leader. After her youngest was in school full time, Eileen entered the work force once again. Her claim to fame was being employed at Sony Corporation where all beloved family members received Sony products as gifts!

As life carried on, Eileen was blessed with seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, with her new baby great-grandson entering this world nine hours before she left it.

Eileen found her second home in the church due to her devout love of the Catholic faith. She was a member of the Rosary Altar Society of St. John the Baptist Church in Hillsdale for 67 years. She was entrusted the treasurer position until age 90! Eileen loved this society because of its devotion to the Blessed Mother.

Eileen loved to socialize, especially with her dear friends, the Sunshine Girls! They were like sisters to each other and second mothers to each otherʼs children. Some of the Sunshine Girls joined the 50 Plus Club, a social organization. Here, Eileen made new friends well into her 80s. She served as treasurer of that club until age 90 as well. An angel on Earth, she led a life well lived.

She was predeceased by her husband, Edward Cashin, in 1984 and her daughter, Elizabeth, in 2014. Eileen leaves behind those who loved her dearly: her children, Edward and wife Donna, Kevin and wife Jacquelyn, and Donna and husband Joseph; seven grandchildren, Bryan and wife Jennifer, Eileen and husband Steven, Kristine, Kyle, Joseph and wife Kaitlyn, Michelle, and Matthew; and two great-grandchildren, Hannah and Carmine.

A memorial mass for Eileen was held at St. John the Baptist
