Eileen A. Stuebe, 87, passed away Saturday, May 4, 2024, peacefully at home in Racine, WI with her family by her side, after a sudden and short battle with cancer. Eileen was born February 14, 1937 in Racine WI, to Otto and Anna (Nee: Gauruder) Sorensen. She was united in marriage to Thomas R. Stuebe at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer on June 29, 1957.

Eileen kept a very busy schedule with friends, dog grooming, various physical activities, church, and of course her family. Eileen was a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, homemaker, Sunday School teacher, and ran her own business as a dog groomer, never retiring and working until her final days. She loved caring for her furry friends and connecting with their humans regularly. Eileen had many hobbies; golfing, bowling, lunch dates, gatherings with friends, and taking care of her family. She was the best cleaner/organizer one could ever meet! She greatly enjoyed it and was always the first to help family and friends whenever needed. She was truly the family matriarch, her grandchildren still regularly seeking guidance and wisdom from her many years of life. She deeply missed her husband and soulmate these last 16 months and was looking forward to seeing "her boyfriend" again in heaven. Eileen will be remembered for being a friend to all; caring, loving, hard-working, genuine, and leaving her imprint on more people than one can count.

Eileen will be dearly missed by her children, Wendy (Terry) Lail, Tim (Kim) Stuebe, grandchildren Melissa (Adam) Pratt, Sarah (Brian) Cunningham, Julie Lail, and great grandchildren, Peyton, Taylor, and Devon, and the newest addition, Eilee Cunningham. Sister-in law Carol St. James, brother-in-law, Lee Mohrbacher, dear nieces and nephews, other relatives, and many dear friends. In addition to her husband, parents, and sisters, Eileen was also preceded in death by her three brothers-in-law and sister-in-law.

The family extends our heartfelt thanks to the many nurses through Aurora Hospital and Cindy & Jasmine with Hospice Alliance for their compassionate and thorough care.
