EILEEN BRADY CHATFIELD ~ Class of 1968
December 31, 1949 - October 6, 2010



Former Eagle River, AK resident Eileen Chatfield, 60, died peacefully October 6, 2010, at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle after a 14-year battle with ovarian cancer.

A visitation was held followed by a funeral Mass at St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Eagle River.

Eileen was born December 31, 1949, to Mary Elizabeth and Edward Keenan Brady in Richland. She moved to Anchorage, AK in 1981 with her husband and four children. Eileen enjoyed riding horses, horse races, gardening and spending time with her grandchildren.

Her family wrote: "She was a very kind and giving soul. After her cancer diagnosis in 1996 and the death of her youngest son in 1998, she was devastated but remained strong for her family. We are happy she can rest now but she will be deeply missed."

Eileen was preceded in death by her parents, Mary Elizabeth and Edward Keenan Brady; husband, David Lloyd Chatfield Sr.; and son, Miles Austin Chatfield.

She is survived by sons Jason Chatfield of Seattle and David Lloyd Chatfield Jr. of Anchorage; daughter, Leanne Chatfield of Anchorage; grandsons, Austin Ross Chatfield of Grand Junction, CO, and Hasan Miles Wilkerson of Anchorage.

The family would like to thank Dr. Saul Rivkin and the oncology staff at Swedish Medical Center.

Arrangements were made by Seattle Peoples Memorial Funeral Cooperative and Legacy Funeral Home-Bragaw Chapel.
