They lived on the farm until she entered the nursing home in Faulkton in August of this year.
Eileen and Glenn were members of the James Valley Square Dancing club and enjoyed dancing almost every weekend. Together they danced almost everywhere in SD and also in several different states. They were also members of the Tri-County Sam’s camping group.
