OBITUARY
Eileen was the beloved wife of Vincent Forrest and loving mother to Ainsley, Ben and Jack. Loving daughter to Anne Marie Battilana and James Faulkner, loving stepdaughter to Richard Battilana and two stepsisters Patti and Susanne, beloved by many cousins and friends. Eileen will be greatly missed. Her greatest pleasures were sharing happy times with Terry and her children. Their favorite place was Disney World. The other happy place was Lake Placid. It was special to Terry and the children. She also loved coming home to her four dogs. She was always so proud of Ainsley, Ben and Jack. Her life was taken way too soon. Her excellent drive and ambitions were evident in her achievements in the work force. She, at a very young age, rose to the top and was very well respected by her peers. Her sparkling personality lit up a room at any gathering with family and friends.

Not only was Eileen one of the primary enablers of the 2006 - 2009 transformation of AXA's CMG (Customer Marketing Group) transformation to an incremental profit engine, she was a highly respected bridge to the important AXA Advisors sales channel and invaluable member of the CMG leadership team. How happy I was to observe her continued success after my departure to AXA China. I still miss our "Labrador" discussions and her encouragement for me to add another loving lab to my family. I offer my condolences to her family, along with the assurance that "The burden of grief, though heaviest for family, is lightened when shared by others." Like me, there are many of those "others," for Eileen was special…
Our heartfelt condolences to the entire family and especially Terry and the children and of course Jim, I can't imagine the the loss you must feel during these times. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. RIP Eileen....it's obvious you were truly loved and respected. Enda Kathy Aislinn and LEAH Charles.
My condolences to Terry and the children. I am saddened to learn of your loss. We know that the world will miss Eileen's energy, smile, honesty and joy. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, extended family and friends.
I had the honor of working with Eileen for many years during our careers at Equitable/ AXA. She was truly awesome—always down to earth even as she continued to successfully climb the corporate ladder. I am still in shock and heartbroken especially for her beautiful family. Sleep in Peace Eileen—You will never be forgotten🥲🌹
Words can not express the many positive thoughts to describe Eileen. A wonderful wife, mother and daughter. I will never forget meeting Eileen several mornings after Mass at St. Aidans church. Eileen never ceased to make me laugh.She was always so positive and humorous. I will never forget you as someone very special. Until we meet again, may God hold You in the palm of His hands. AuntDoris
