Eileen was born on May 11, 1919 in Rock Rapids, Iowa to Frank and Pearl (Julian) Hollaren.

On May 8, 1946, she was married in Los Angeles to Patrick Owen Murphy of Salem, SD, who was residing in Los Angeles after his return from the U.S. Army service. Patrick died in 1990. After her marriage, the couple returned to Sioux falls in 1947 where they resided for the remainder of their lives. Eileen then devoted her efforts and abilities in the mothering of her three sons and one daughter.

Eileen has suffered the loss of her husband, grandson Kieron Murphy, grandson John Cynkar, and five brothers. In keeping with her Irish heritage, Eileen would like to share this Irish proverb: May the lilt of Irish laughter lighten every load, May the mist of Irish magic shorten every road, May you taste the sweetest pleasures, May the good Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

We consider them as her angels on earth. - Miller Funeral Home
