Eileen Kay Beaty passed peacefully in-home surrounded by family on February 25, 2017, after a courageous battle with cancer. Eileen came into this world just as spry as she left it. On March 2, 1945, there were no hospital rooms available to her parents Jeanne and Harry Grover, so they were forced to use a storeroom as a makeshift birthing room. She resided in Piru and attended Fillmore High School where she met her future husband, Jim Beaty. They were married in 1966 and celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary this year. Together they had three children, Darren, Dyan and Jeb. Eileen worked at various jobs, including the "bra factory" and Beaty's Grocery before becoming a stay-at-home Mom in the late 70's. She was involved in many organizations: PTA, Job's Daughters, Raiders Football, Flashes boosters, North Fillmore Neighborhood Council, to name a few. Jim and Eileen started the 4th of July Chili Cook off and Car show in 1987. In 2000, Eileen began cooking red chili, salsa and chili verde. She won many awards throughout the years. In 2015, she won the ICS World Championship for Chili Verde. Eileen was very creative and talented in many things including, sewing, crocheting, painting, and gardening. She loved football, especially when her boys or grandson were playing. She was proud of her children and grandchildren and made each feel special. Eileen survived by her husband Jim Beaty, brother Roy Grover (wife Linda), sister, Georgette Aguilar, children, Darren Beaty (wife Suzi), Dyan Beaty (husband Ronnie), Jeb Beaty (wife Stephanie) and six Grandchildren: Jacob Beaty, Nathan Beaty, Jordan Martens (husband Michael), Joshua Beaty, Austin Beaty and Cole Beaty. Eileen was preceded in death by her parents Jeanne and Harry Grover and brother Bill Floyd. Graveside services will be held at Bardsdale Cemetery, 1698 Sespe Street, Fillmore, CA, on Tuesday, March 7 at 11:00 am.
