Eileen McEnany Burress passed away peacefully on December 8, 2025, surrounded by her daughter, Kelly; sister Lyn Somerville, and close friend, Eileen Brooker.

Eileen was born and raised in Maryland where she attended Winston Churchill High School and graduated from what is now Towson University.  She followed in her father’s footsteps and joined The IBM Corporation in the late 1970’s. Eileen always had a dream of living in California and transferred there in the early 1980’s. She held various positions in the technology sector over the years and retired eight years ago as a Director of Global Sales for Toshiba’s Digital Products Division. She moved back east and settled in Little River, SC to be closer to family. She had just celebrated her 70th birthday three days prior to passing away. Eileen was a devoted mother who adored her family. She was strong-willed, funny, kind, giving and a loving friend to all.

She is survived by her devoted daughter, Kelly Burress; her sister, Lyn Somerville; brother, Jim McEnany; ex-husband David Burress and many nieces and nephews.  Her parents, Joseph and Bernice McEnany and brother, Kevin McEnany predeceased her.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at The Officers Club, 714 US 17, Little River, SC.  A Celebration of Life will also be held in Orange County, California at a later date.
