Eileen H. Ferguson's Obituary
Of Jefferson Hills, PA. Age 82, peacefully surrounded by a family who loved her and in the thoughts and prayers of many. The daughter of the late Harvey Dean and Hildegard Ann (Zinsmeister) Pinkerton, Eileen was born on January 28, 1935 in Pittsburgh. She was a graduate of Hampton High School where she met her lifelong husband, Don. During her time in school, Eileen was active as a majorette and was the lead in her Senior play. Soon after graduation, she and Don married, and together, they welcomed their children, Richard Dean Ferguson, Karen Lee Shenkle, Cheryl Ferguson Kreider, and Jeffrey Scott Ferguson. Eileen worked while Don attended college, and upon his graduation, moved to Houston, TX. After returning to the Pittsburgh area, her early years were busy as a homemaker, but she later worked as an interior designer for Martin Dowling Builders, where she was recognized for a home she designed in the Greater Pittsburgh Home Show. Along with her husband and children, Eileen is survived by her grandchildren, Jamie and Brandon Trimnal, Erica Bandi, Brent Kreider, and Victoria Ferguson; great-grandchildren, Bryce, Kylie, and Hailey Trimnal, Colton and Mackenzie Bandi, and Gavin and Gabrielle Trimnal; sister-in-law, Carol (Richard) Ferguson; as well as many loving cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
