Eileen, a parishioner of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, died at her home with her family by her side on Saturday, November 24, 2018. She was born in Liverpool, England on February 12, 1931.

Eileen grew up in an orphanage in England and traveled to the United States at age 21 to become a nanny. She was also employed by Licking Memorial Hospital for 25 years where she worked in central supply/ sterilized processing. Following her retirement from LMH, Eileen spent many years caring for the homebound as a home health and private duty aide. Her compassionate and giving nature made her a loyal companion for the many individuals that she cared for.

As an avid Ohio State Buckeye Fan, Eileen had the privilege of witnessing one last Buckeye victory before her death on Saturday.

She is survived by her son, Rennie (Tracy) Bare; daughter, Tawna Bare; step-daughters, Karessa Miller and Joan Clark; grandchildren, Jagger Bare, Kelsie Martin, Chase Ramsey, Angie (Tony) Rose, Kaylee (Anthony) Ash, Austin Bare Hollingshead, Tanaya Bottomley; step grandchildren, Melissa (Eric) Winters, Tri (Meg) Miller, Gary (Linda) Cunningham, and Mike (Kim) Cunningham; great-grandchildren, Liam, Brooks, Jaeden, Gianna, Makalynn, Keirria, Aeriawna, Traevin, and Adriana; and several step-great-grandchildren.

Eileen was preceded in death by her husband, Fred Bare in 1988; great-grandson, Xavier Parish Finehout; step-son-in-law, Gene Miller; and step-grandson, Ray Cullison. Also preceding her in death was her dear lifelong friend from England, Betty Proctor, affectionately known as "Aunt Betty".
