In Loving Memory of Mildred Eileen Newman, 78, of Knoxville, Tennessee, who passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones, Saturday, February 13th, 2021.
Eileen was born in Hayden, Colorado, in 1942 and graduated from Littleton High School in 1960. During high school, Eileen was a talented photographer and contributed greatly to her senior yearbook and other school events.
Being a great conversationalist and thoughtful listener, Eileen spent many years working on the phone in several different industries. She fulfilled her dream of becoming a 911 call processor, from where she retired at 65. After a year of retirement, with the desire to stay active and social, she sought out employment at GC Services in Knoxville, where she retired a second time at the age of 76.After retirement, Eileen enjoyed spending time with her family, watching movies, listening to music, playing games, and chatting on social media. She also spent time with her bird, “Cowboy,” and her dogs “Dizzy” and “Cheebs”.
Eileen was a resilient woman, who despite hardships and many challenges throughout her life, was funny, kind-hearted, and had a smile that would warm your heart. She was loved and cherished by many, and though she will be dearly missed, she will live on in the memories of those whose lives she touched.
Eileen is survived by her four treasured daughters, Vicki Patterson, Casey Giles, Shannon Kerwin, and Jackie Newman (Mikey), and a dear Son, Scott Neubill. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren Bill Patterson (Sarah), David Patterson, Dan Patterson, Stephanie Kish (Chris), Jessica Coleman (Gary), Grant Boss, Kiefer Boss, Leanna Peavy (David), Michelle Neubill (Jeremiah), Matthew Neubill (Zoe), and many wonderful great-grandchildren.
There will be no funeral services at this time, but a Celebration of Life Ceremony is in the planning stages for Spring. In lieu of flowers, bring potato salad and join us in the Spring to share some wonderful memories of this sweet and beautiful soul.
