Eileen Reid

Eileen Reid, 75, passed away on Tuesday, September 27nd, 2022, at Robert Wood Johnson University hospital Somerset. Born in Philadelphia PA, she was the daughter of James and Genevieve (Gercke) Casey. Eileen was a 1964 graduate of St. Hubert's High School. After graduation, she began working for PSFS and, in 1965, was named Miss PSFS. She married Felix in 1968 and stayed home to raise her 4 children. She worked as the main office secretary for Saint Matthias School in Somerset from 1985 to 1992 and most recently had worked at IEEE in Piscataway for 17 years until her retirement in 2010. A devout Roman Catholic, Eileen was a communicant at Saint Joseph Church in Bound Brook, serving as a Eucharistic Minister, as well as a Lector. She enjoyed crocheting, reading, crossword puzzles, crafts and ceramics, traveling, and most of all spending time with family and friends. She was the heart and soul of her family and was loved so deeply by all that knew her. She always gave her best in everything she did and to everyone she knew. She was known for her thoughtfulness and her generosity. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and her beautiful smile would automatically make you smile with her. She is well known for her contagious laugh that would resonate through the room and make you laugh along with her. Her passing was unexpected and has shocked the family to its core.

Eileen is survived by her soul mate of 54 years, Felix; her sister Genevieve, her brothers Jack and Joseph, her children Eileen (Mark), Jennifer (David), Felix, and Maryanne (Brian),and her grandchildren Genevieve, Kevin, Madeline, Julia, Felix, and Celia.
