Eileen Patricia Murphy Schmitz passed peacefully on the morning of February 1st  in her home on Main Street in Port Washington where she has been comfortably enjoying the view of Manhasset Bay for 20 years.  She was born in Queens, NY, March 5th 1930 to Eileen and Joseph Murphy and has lived on Long Island for her entire life.  She grew up in Douglaston, NY attending  Mary Louis Academy High School and achieving her college degree from NYU.  She also very much enjoyed spending time in her second home in the Berkshires where along with her husband Herbert, she would frequent Tanglewood Performing Arts Center.  She very much enjoyed her visits from the family during the winter where they learned to ski and board.

She was an accomplished business woman, she received her masters degree from NYU in 1968 and elevating herself to the highest ranking woman in Creedmoor Psychiatric Center managing the Geriatric division as Chief of Service for many years before retiring in her sixties.

She married Herbert Schmitz who passed in 2013 and led a life she aspired to. She was a strong willed Irish Catholic with unyielding  support for her children and grandchildren.  She is survived by her sons Peter and Christopher and her daughter Meaghan and their spouses Carolyn, Elisabeth and Tony Capobianco along with 8 grandchildren, Dylan, Eric, Chloe, Leah, Ryan, Anthony, Dora, and Becky and 2 great grandchildren Row and Emilia.

Her favorite two quotes have been, I'm in a great place in my life.  I have no regrets!
