Eileen was born on November 14, 1944, in Austin, MN, to Manley and Dorothy (Bartley) Gunderson. From an early age, she showed a remarkable passion for mathematics and learning. She went on to earn a master’s degree in mathematics and became the first woman to graduate from the Minnesota Institute of Technology — an achievement that reflected both her brilliance and her determination.
Eileen married Richard and joined him in leading numerous business ventures, helping many people build successful and fulfilling careers. She brought that same dedication, energy, and love to her roles as a mother and grandmother. Family was always at the center of her life. She instilled her enthusiasm, curiosity, and joy in her two sons and her grandchildren, cheering them on in every endeavor — whether in school, at hockey and football games, or at swim meets. Eileen was, without question, their biggest fan.
Eileen is survived by her sons Brad (Jodi) Windfeldt and Jeff (Melissa) Windfeldt; her grandchildren Lauren (Dan) Lang, Ross (Bethany) Windfeldt, Dylan (Jen) Orthaus, Andrew, Aaron, and Alex Windfeldt, Dylan and Taylor Anderson; her great grandchildren Emma, Jay, Brodie, Mara, Jace, and Cade; and her sisters Nancy (Bill) Anderson and Linda (Scot) Montgomery.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Richard.
Flowers are appreciated at the service. If preferred, memorial donations may be directed to St. Benedict’s Care Center, 1810 Minnesota Blvd., St. Cloud, MN 56304.
