Eileen Anne Porcelli

With heavy hearts but profound gratitude for a beautiful soul, we celebrate the memory of our dearly beloved Eileen Anne Porcelli, age 64, who transitioned to a new chapter on Thursday, April 18th 2024, surrounded by her family at home in Wayne, New Jersey. Eileen Porcelli was a beacon of love and joy, touching the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her. She departed this world, leaving behind an indelible mark of kindness, compassion, and warmth.

Born on October 10th, 1959, Eileen was the cherished daughter of Richard and Anne Kelly, as well as the younger sister of James Kelly and Peter Kelly. Raised in Livingston, New Jersey, she graduated from Hartford University with a Bachelor of English degree with the class of 1980.

During her 23-year career in Human Resources at Dial America, Eileen was known for her exceptional ability to connect with others. Her unwavering compassion and genuine concern for people made her a standout collaborator and friend. In every interaction, she demonstrated a remarkable sense of fairness, always striving to ensure that everyone's voice was heard and respected. Eileen possessed a rare balance of empathy and level-headedness. Whether faced with challenges or successes, she approached situations with a calm demeanor, providing a stabilizing force of grace to her workplace community.

Eileen was an incredibly talented artist, shining in all creative projects from decorating her home to floral arrangements, illustrations, and incredible cooking. She cared for many pets over the years, specifically her loyal companion, Scout, who never left her side. Always open-minded to learning new hobbies, she also took up golfing and fly-fishing with the 'Casting for Recovery' organization, which provides healing outdoor retreats for breast cancer survivors.

Eileen embraced life with an open heart, forging deep connections with her devoted husband Vito Porcelli, only daughter Dana Novello, and a vast circle of friends. Her genuine kindness and generosity touched the lives of many, making her beloved within all of her communities.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests contributions to Valley Hospice, reflecting Eileen's spirit of giving and compassion.
