Eileen M. Perugini, 77, of Lancaster, passed away on Sunday November 10, 2024. Born in Brooklyn, NY, she was the daughter of the late John and Ellen Brosnahan. Eileen’s career of serving the community was highlighted by her work in the Athletic Department at Lancaster Catholic High School. Following her retirement, she continued her love of service, and books, through volunteering at the Mountville Public Library. She was a member of St. Philip The Apostle Catholic Church.
Spending time with family and friends was important to Eileen. She would welcome anyone who visited her home around the kitchen table with a hot meal or sweet treat. She took pride in her garden each summer, and loved reading books in her spare time. With her family roots tracing back to Cork County, her Irish heritage was an important part of her life.
She is survived by her children: Susan married to Alan Criswell and Thomas married to Julie Sahd Perugini, both of Elizabethtown; her grandchildren Cody Rieker and Kelly Pentz, and her great grandchildren Case and Cassie. She was preceded in death by her brother, Daniel.
Friends will be received by Eileen’s family on Friday, November 22, 2024 from 10-11AM at St. Philip The Apostle Catholic Church, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster, PA , with the Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated at 11AM. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions in her memory to the American Cancer Society, 1818 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19103.

Eileen’s family,
My sincere condolences on the death of your mother. I only found out 12/3 that she passed.
I remember her fondly working with her at Lift-All. At Christmas she would bring me Anise Prezelles as
she knew I did not make them and they were a favorite of mine. She also left me clip Holly from her tree
one year for a church project I was assisting with, always willing to help.
May you carry her in your hearts and have the fondest of memories.
