Eileen Knox, 87 of North Wales, PA passed away on Wednesday, June 7, 2023.

Born in Chester, PA, Eileen would later move to Collingdale, PA. where she met the boy who she would later marry while working in a gift shop together during her grade school years. She attended Notre Dame High School and found lifelong friends there whom she would refer to as her sorority sisters well into her later years.

She was predeceased by her parents Alexander and Jean and her daughter, Kellie.

Eileen is survived by her loving husband of 63 years, Joseph Knox, son Joseph Knox and his wife Markia Archuleta, daughters Pam Knox and Janine Knox, brother Alexander, her sister Sue McNamara, 6 grandchildren Christian, Hannah, Austin, Will, Jessica and Evan and her nieces and nephews.

While she held jobs in hospital medical records and as a pharmacy clerk, motherhood was Eileen’s calling in life. She was at her best pouring out her love on her four children. When they were young, she volunteered at their elementary school library and racked up countless miles taking them to lessons, scouting events, and other activities.

Her most treasured role beyond motherhood was that of being grandmother to her grandchildren. With an endless supply of selfless love, she found great joy in spending time with her grandchildren and counted them among her greatest blessings.

The center of her life by far was her husband, Joe. Her life was made richer by his constant love and companionship. Whether they were on the dance floor, travelling, or raising a glass in celebration of life and each other, much of her life’s joy came from time spent together.

Visitation will be held on Monday, June 12, 2023, from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM at St. Joseph’s Church, 500 Woodlawn Avenue, Collingdale, PA, 19023. Followed by a mass of Christian burial at 10:00 AM.

Interment will follow in Saints Peter & Paul Cemetery, Springfield.
