Eileen Orum passed away on September 28, 2023. She was born on November 24, 1985 to Darcy Gooding, and raised by her loving stepfather Micheal.

Eileen was a light to this world. She never met a stranger and was always extending a hand to those in need. She was the kindest soul, beautiful both inside and out. Eileen had a passion for nursing animals back to health whenever she got the chance, and loved crafting and artistry in her free time. Her abundant family and countless friends are a shining testament to her bright soul and keen intelligence that never went unnoticed by those whose lives were touched by her own. She loved so hard and so big, breathing life into everything around her.

Eileen is survived by her husband, Jonathan Orum; Sons: Skylar Glenn Orum, and Mason Edward Orum; parents: Darcy and Micheal Ard; mother-in-law, Tracy Sugg; brothers: Jeff Matthews, Redmon Ard, and James Ard; sister Naomi Ard; and a host of friends she made throughout the course of her beautiful life.

A funeral service will be held at 2:00 pm on October 5, 2023 at Lynch Funeral Home in Caddo Mills with Henry Hammons presiding. There will be a visitation held one hour prior to service at 1 p.m.
