WITHEE -- Eileen A. Montag, 89, Withee, passed away Tuesday, March 31, 2009, at her home with her family at her side, and under the care of Ministry Home Care Hospice.

Eileen Amelia Christensen was born Feb. 25, 1920, in Wood County, the daughter of Peter W. and Eva (Engles) Christensen. Eileen was married to Cliff Montag on March 1, 1944, and lived most of her adult life in Owen-Withee, retiring from the Clark County Health Care Center in 1985.

She will be missed by her daughter, Carla and son-in-law Lyle Hansen of Fall Creek; one brother, George (Germaine) Christensen of Marshfield; one sister, Shirley (James) Schmitt of Marshfield; many nieces, nephews (their children and grandchildren); and many wonderful friends.

Eileen did not want a funeral and preferred that her family and friends remember her when they enjoy the activities in which she took so much pleasure: visiting with others, golfing, playing cards, gardening, bird watching or traveling.
