  Notes	Eileen Groves, of Cheyenne, WY, passed away on April 18, 2020 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. She will always be remembered as a loving mother and caring friend to all that knew and loved her. She was born on October 8, 1922 in Brown Township, OH, to George and Hazel Wills. She grew up in Ohio and graduated from Rosewood High School in a class of 13. She was very proud to have been able to attend her 75th alumni/reunion. She married Charles Groves on January 31, 1942 in Dayton, OH, and had a loving marriage of 56 years. They lived in Ohio and Florida for a number of years before moving to Texas in 1967. They were both longtime members of Smithfield United Methodist Church, and she loved the Lord and her church family very much. She moved to Cheyenne in 2010 to live with her son, and enjoyed looking out the windows and watching the antelope, birds (especially hummingbirds), squirrels, and other critters she would see. She enjoyed gardening, going to baseball games and watching them on television, working jigsaw puzzles, and especially spending time with her family. The graveside Funeral Service will be held on April 28, 2020 at Bluebonnet Hills Memorial Park with a memorial service to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to American Bible Society or The Wounded Warriors Project which are organizations she supported.
