Eileen Anita Milka

Eileen A. Milka, of New Port Richey, Florida and formerly of Bedford, Indiana and Toledo, Ohio, passed away on September 20, 2026, at the age of 80 in New Port Richey, Florida. She was born on September 16, 1946, to Richard and Ethel Harkcom of Monclova, Ohio. She graduated from Anthony Wayne High School in 1964 and attended Stautzenberger College where she met and later married David Milka on November 26, 1966.

David and Eileen shared almost 60 years of marriage while raising five children. Eileen worked as a bookkeeper for the family business Entry Mat Cleaning Service for 38 years. Her family was a cherished part of her life, and Eileen will be remembered for the love, care, generosity, quick wit, laughter, and memories she gave to those around her.

Eileen is survived by her husband, David Milka; her four children, Jill (James) Mitchell of Chandler, Arizona, Jason Milka of Bedford, Indiana, Jennifer (David) Coss of New Port Richey, Florida, and Julie Cole of Hudson, Florida; her five grandchildren Alex Mitchell, Jared Mitchell, Brooklin Coss, Joel Coss and Jude Coss; her sisters, Jean (Michael) Mertes and Joyce (John) Lusch; her brother, Brian Harkcom; and many other family members and loved ones who will carry her memory in their hearts. She was preceded in death by her son Jeffrey Milka and sister Marcia Tilton, as well as her parents and many aunts, uncles, and cousins which she mentioned often, remembering the days of Monclova, Ohio.

Eileen held a strong faith in Jehovah God’s promises and cherished the hope of the resurrection to paradise on Earth. This hope brought her comfort throughout her life. She was often seen reading the Bible at the kitchen table and remains a source of comfort to those who loved her. Eileen will be deeply missed by her family and friends. Her loved ones find comfort in the hope that she will one day be reunited with those she loved in the promised paradise on Earth.

We would like to express a very special Thank you to Gulfside Hospice, Pasco County Senior Services Division, Mobile Physicians Services and Home Instead Services for the excellent care Eileen was given.

At Eileen’s wishes, cremation was chosen and her burial will be near her mother in Swan Creek Cemetery, Monclova, Ohio. No memorial service will be held.
