                       HON. THADDEUS G. McCOTTER

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 2006

  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the achievements and 
mourn the passing of Eileen Toy, born August 28, 1928.
  For more than four decades, Eileen worked to improve the Michigan 
communities in which she lived. With her husband, Glen Toy of the 
Livonia Police Department, Eileen moved to Livonia, Michigan, during 
the 1950's. After graduating with honors from the University of 
Michigan with a Bachelors degree in Education, Eileen earned a Masters 
in Education Management degree from Eastern Michigan University. She 
went on to serve in the Wayne-Westland Community schools as a teacher 
and an administrator.
  Eileen is remembered as a confidant to her friends, an inspiration to 
her students, and caregiver to her children, Laura, Glen, Carol, and 
Bruce. Her biting sense of humor, brilliance, and quick-wit will sorely 
be missed,
  Mr. Speaker, during her 77 years, Eileen Toy has enriched the lives 
of people around her. Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in mourning 
her passing and remembering her contributions to our community and our 
country.
