Eileen Margaret Wenger, 90, of Palm Harbor, FL, entered into the loving arms of her Savior on Tuesday March 17, 2020. She was born in Harrisburg, PA on August 9, 1929, to the late Raymond A. and Florence L. (Hummer) Scott.

Eileen retired as a Medicare claims operator from Highmark Blue Shield after 25 years of service. She was a member of St Luke The Evangelist Catholic Church, Palm Harbor, Fl and previously a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Enola, Pa.
She was a beautiful, kind, energetic and generous person who loved all unconditionally.
