Eilene C Thompson

Family and friends knew Eilene as “Bell”. She was raised in Colombia, South Carolina as a young girl until she relocated to New York City where she continued her education and graduated from George Washington High School. In 1988 she married the love of her life Hartswell H. Holder, Jr. During that union two children where born: Tiffany and Brittany. Eilene was an extraordinary woman with the ability to make you laugh and lift you up when you’re down. She was a loving and caring wife, mother, daughter and sister.

Eilene was employed by the Bronx Criminal Court House in New York City. In 2004 she relocated to Florida where she was employed by BCC Financial for 6 years where she also made many friends. Eilene enjoyed having gatherings occasionally at home during the weekend to bring her friends and family together. She was known to be the life of the party, and never bashful to get anyone to start dancing. All she wanted was peace and happiness and never hesitated to profess her love to anyone. “You were a wonderful inspiration to all and you will always remain in our heart.” Eilene was called home to be with the Lord on July 28, 2012. Her absence will create a massive void in our lives but the memories we shared will always remain and never be forgotten.
