Eileen D. Cifuentez

Eileen moved with her family to Central California when she was a young girl. There, she attended Delta View Elementary and Mt. Whitney High School where she met the love of her life and husband of 53 years, Mario Cifuentez. She was a loving wife and mother and the consummate housewife. The two were inseparable from the moment that they met.

She was a great cook and her husband will attest to that. Eileen loved to feed all that came to her home, which was always spotless and in order.

Eileen was a strict disciplinarian and yet, you could search the world over and never find a more loving and compassionate mother.

Eileen is survived by two of her three children, Mario and Ruben and their wives Courtney and Stephanie; many grandchildren, who were her primary reason for living, Nicholas, Josh, Alyssa, Taylor, Anthony and Bailey; siblings Anne, Edna, Angie, Connie, Patsy, Joe, Cathy and John; and a slew of in-laws, nieces, nephews, friends and family too numerous to list but all were cherished by her.

Eileen is blessed to have been reunited with her dear daughter, Rochelle Fowler, and is predeceased by her mother Anna, father John and sister Betty. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, August 17, 2016, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Miller Memorial Chapel 1120 W. Goshen Ave., Visalia, followed by Rosary at 6:00pm. Graveside services will be held at a later date at Visalia Public Cemetery District.
