Eileen was born on March 29, 1963 in Vernal, Utah, a daughter to Tom and Fay Stephens Howells. She grew up in Vernal and cherished her childhood memories there. She loved to go back to visit and to play. She graduated from Uintah High school in 1981, participating in Student Government and the Volleyball team.

Eileen married her sweetheart, Gordon Daley, in the Logan LDS Temple on August 16, 1984. They were blessed with four children: Jake, Mitch, Whitney, and Luke. She has no grandchildren yet, but expects her children to work on that.

For most of her life she was a labor and delivery nurse at LDS Hospital, which she absolutely loved. She loved her nursing friends, colleagues, and the children.

In 2000 she moved to Brigham City and found a place where her children flourished and felt like home for her. Eileen's passion was her family and she loved to spend time with them whether it was traveling, trying to pass them on the 4-wheelers in the mountains, or playing games around the table, she wanted to be with them.

She also loved making quilts for her family and left many as her legacy. She is survived by her husband, Gordon, children: Jake, Mitch, Whitney, and Luke. Her mother, Fay Howells; her siblings, Tom, LeAnn (John) Halgren, Stephen (Amber), Vivian (Scott) Gardner, Laura (Ed) Schirner, Devin (Jody), many nieces and nephews and friends who love her.
