Birth date: May 12, 1924 Death date: Jan 5, 2015
Eileen J. Little, age 90, of Gaylord, MI went to be with the Lord on January 5, 2015 as she was surrounded by family. She was born May 12, 1924 in Mesick, MI to the late Claude and Emma Stanton. Beloved wife of the late LeRoy Ken Read Obituary
Eileen was an aunt to me growing up. She was such a fun person to be around. When ever we visited or she visited we had so much fun. I will miss her laugh and her smile. I often wake up hearing her laugh, which was so infectious... I feel so fortunate have known her and her children. I will miss her but will never forget her. God speed Eileen. Hope to see you in Heaven some day.
The Little family lived on 10 mile road and our family lived one street behind their house at 1185 E. Kenneth. In that neighborhood all the "mamas" looked-out for everybodys kids. We played together and got spanked by "Aunt" Ilene and the other Moms the same as we would from our mama if we were caught doing something wrong. We would also get hugs and scraped and "bobo'" would be attended to by any mom for any kid. I always felt we were more of a family than neighbors. Ilene's smile could brighten a room. But, when she got mad at us for doing something we shouldn't......we all headed for the hills. Ha, Ha, I am happy Ilene was part of my life. We all loved her so and our Mom, Dorotha Sayre, thought of her as a sister. Mom and Ilene were friends and stayed in touch for over 66 years. She will be sorely missed. Margo (Sayre) Lowery.
I liked going to see Aunt Eileen when I was little. Shed have weekly poker games and I thought that was so cool. Also loved her little dog GIGI. She was always very nice to me. Im glad shes not suffering anymore. Love Caren
My heart goes out to all of you who have to endure this pain/loss. I am close to you all and I can only say that when the gates of heaven opened up and Eileen (mom) entered and walked into the arms of Jesus, she was smiling! She is free from pain and has been given a "new body"...and beyond Jesus, i am sure she saw her husband, her son and her daughter, a long with many others and together they are rejoicing and singing with the Angels! Our faith tells us we will see them all again...so take heart and smile because of the memories you can share and because of the hope we all hold in our hearts. I love you and will pray for the peace that only God can give at this time. Chris and Tom P
