Eileen Steen-Munts, 60, of Sweet Home, Oregon, and formerly Scotts Valley, California, passed away Thursday after a long illness. She leaves behind her husband, Orville Munts, whom she loved dearly over the past 15 years.

Eileen also leaves: her children and their spouses, Jennifer (Robert) Burns-Steen, Timmy (Jocelyn) Steen, and Rachaell (Justin) Milroy; brothers, Garnet, Jimmy, and Kelly Carlson; and sisters, Kathleen and Susan. Her biggest joy in the world were her grandkids, Taylor, Jonathan, Madison, and Jay of Scotts Valley. She is preceded in death by her parents, Lorraine and Sonny Carlson.

Eileen grew up in Santa Cruz and attended Soquel High School. She married her high school sweetheart, John Steen. They were married 23 years.

She worked at various companies during her life, including Beta Technology for over 15 years.

Eileen loved the ocean and loved to fish. If she was inside, she could most likely be found either baking treats for everyone or near the heater reading her books. If you knew Eileen, you knew she was hard headed, stubborn and very proud, but most of all, you knew the love she had for her family. Everyone that knew her, especially “Mike,” was meaningful to her.

Mom, you will forever be missed and loved. We are so sad to have lost you, but your home with us now in our hearts, until we meet again- The Kids.

Arrangements are under the direction of Sweet Home Funeral Chapel.
