Beloved wife of the late Stephen McDonough (Retired Boston Fire Department Engine7/26) Devoted mother of Alice King and her husband John of Hull, Patrick McDonough and his wife Paula of NH, and Stephen McDonough of Chelsea. Loving grandmother of Adrienne and Timothy King, Alyssa McDonough and the late Catherine McDonough. Sister of the late Richard McCarthy of Weymouth and the late Ann Hanlon of Hull.

Eileen was a woman ahead of her time, with a strong “I can do that” mentality and very independent. She returned to school in her early 50’s and gained her nursing certificate. She was a compassionate nurse and care giver at the Faulkner Hospital for many years until she retired. Eileen enjoyed decorating, art, seeing shows at the South Shore Music Circus, and was always a great hostess and loved to entertain. Eileen won many ribbons in local art shows in Hingham and Cohasset for her beautiful acrylic paintings. She also adored the ocean and spending quiet evenings with her husband at the beach in Hull. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
