SALT LAKE CITY — Eileen Ward, 75, died in her sleep March 17. Ward was born Feb. 25, 1932, in New York, N.Y. She had the gift of listening with her heart, and her home was always open to anyone who needed a friend. She was a talented writer, and her poetry inspired the meek and the small. Through her efforts alone, she raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for children and adults with developmental disabilities. She is survived by her son, Timothy Ward; special daughter, Mimi Ward; daughter-in-law, Gail Ward; and grandson Liam Ward, all of Las Vegas, Nev. A funeral Mass was celebrated at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church.
