She was born on February 13, 1938, to John R. and Nora Monahan. At the time of her birth, Eileen’s mother passed away, and John raised her with the help of Eileen’s beloved “Aunt Gena” – Virginia (Monahan) Deignan of Lake Geneva. Later, her father married Louise Clarke, who became her mother in every sense of the word. Louise brought with her son Joe, and John and Louise eventually had a daughter together. It was Eileen’s little sister Martha who dubbed her “Nini”, or simply “Neen” as she has been known ever since. Eileen grew up in Evanston, Illinois, and graduated from Evanston Township High School.
Later, she graduated from Quincy College in Quincy, Illinois, and began teaching English in Chatsworth, Illinois. Eileen loved her career as a teacher, so after taking some years off to raise her family – as well as getting certified to teach Special Education – she taught several places in southern Wisconsin, including Traver, Pell Lake Star Center and Mukwonago, and then ending her career as a Learning Disabilities teacher at Phoenix School in Delavan.
