It is with profound sadness and gratitude that we announce the passing of Eileen Marie Imhof, our loving and devoted wife, mother and friend, on July 7, 2021, following a lengthy battle with dementia. She left us peacefully at her residence in Pensacola, FL. She was 79 years young.

Born in Philadelphia, PA on November 18, 1941 to James and Marie McHale, Eileen relished being from the city of "Brotherly Love," and especially their sports teams of which she was an ardent "Phanatic" supporter. It was in Philly that she met her husband of 56 years, Patrick Imhof, Sr. The Navy would determine their places of residence for the next twenty years, landing them permanently in Pensacola, FL where they would raise their three children, with a brief change of location to Cleona, PA. Various places of employment brought her much pleasure and lifelong friends. That said, no job could compare to her favorite role of being a mom – and most especially a Gran to her six grandchildren.

Artistic, smart, and creative, Eileen was an A-1 cook, an avid reader, and an accomplished Tetris player, completing levels never before seen by modern youth. A favorite aunt, she was also a popular neighborhood mom on Atwood Drive; her devotion to kids was evident throughout all aspects of her life. A best friend amongst friends, she cherished any and all time spent with them.

Most of all, she loved her family and instilled in her children strong values that have served them well. If eternity is measured by memories treasured in the hearts of loved ones and friends, then Eileen will surely live on in us through all our lives.

Eileen is preceded in death by her parents, James and Marie McHale; sister, Marie Neil; brother, James McHale; infant son, Stephen; and son-in-law, LCDR Mark Ehlers.

She is survived by her loving husband, Patrick Imhof, Sr.; her children, Sue Ehlers Burke (David), Pat Imhof, Jr. (Kristy), and Mike Imhof; her grandchildren, Katie Ortega (Logan), Ryan Ehlers, Betsy Summerlin (Andrew), Patrick, Kelly, and Sam Imhof; as well as Peggy, the perfect Pomeranian puppy from Pensacola will profoundly mourn the loss of her puppy momma.

The family will receive friends from 8:30am until a Memorial Service to begin at 9:30am Thursday, July 15, 2021, at Harper-Morris Memorial Chapel, with Chaplain Michelle White officiating. Interment will follow at Barrancas National Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Eileen's name to Emerald Coast Hospice at www.emeraldcoasthospice.org .
