Eileen Anna David, nee Schultze, passed away on Sunday, January 21, 2018, in Buda Texas.
She was born to Elsie Fischer Schultze and Eugene Schultze, Sr. on February 2, 1926, in New Braunfels Texas. She was the second of four children. She was raised in San Antonio and made her home there until after her husband’s death in 2001. She moved to New Braunfels shortly after and then to Buda to be close to her daughter and her family. The final six months she was well taken care of by the loving staff at Sodalis Memory Care in Buda.
Eileen met her loving husband of 52 years, Brian David, at the Turner Bowling Club in San Antonio of which they were lifelong members. They married on December 23, 1949, at Alamo Heights Fire Department.
The Fire Department was very important to Eileen and Brian. She enjoyed serving on the Woman’s Axillary Club working charity and fund-raising events for the fire department. Eileen was a woman of faith. She was a devoted member of Christ Lutheran Church in Alamo Heights. She served obediently on the Alter Guild and enjoyed making hand-sewn quilts with the quilters of Christ Lutheran. She proudly worked as a supervisor of accounting for the US Army-Air Force Exchange Service at Fort Sam Houston Army Base for 36 years.
Besides her faith, her family was her lifeline. She was a dedicated wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She adored her family!
Eileen loved to have fun and had such a quick wit. She loved to laugh and had no problem laughing and herself. She was truly the “life of the party”. She loved to cook and was great at it. No one left the house hungry! She also enjoyed her white wine!

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Dede and Casey Pinckard, grandchildren: Brianna, Brooks, and Brayden Pinckard and great-grandson Weston Pinckard and her older brother Gene Schultze.
