During high school she attended church and youth group at Trinity Lutheran Church, Belmond. She attended Hamilton Business College for two years. Eileen worked at Northwestern Cement as a Switchboard Operator, filing clerk, and sales.

On November 17, 1946, she was united in marriage to Marlin Field at Richland Lutheran Church in Thornton, IA. They lived on a farm near Joice, IA, for 35 years raising four children. She loved working along side Marlin on the family farm and having a large garden. After her children were raised, Eileen enjoyed working as a CNA at Good Samaritan Home in Forest City, IA, for two years. In August 1978, Eileen moved from the farmstead to a home in Belmond. She worked at the Belmond Hospital as a CNA for six years. Her gifts of compassion and caring for those in need were obvious to the new mothers, babies, and adults she cared for.

With faith, courage, and determination she endured a lot of medical problems following her treatments and surgeries.

Bible study, scrapbooking, genealogy, flowers, and reading occupied her time. She had a deep love for her family, always encouraging them to do their best but above all, to put their trust in Jesus to guide them and help them with their day to day problems.
