Cleopatra, affectionately known as Eileen, was born to Robert and Gwendolyn Millington on November 24, 1941 in Campbellville, Greater Georgetown, Guyana. Eileen grew up assisting her father with raising animals on a homestead in Soesdyke where she attended primary school. Eileen matriculated to Tutorial High School in Georgetown, on an athletic scholarship where she distinguished herself as a track star winning numerous awards and honors.

After high school, Eileen got married and gave birth to two daughters, Carolyn Alison and Geraldine Rosamond. The family later moved to Linden where Eileen devoted her life raising her children. In 1975, she began working at Consumer Goods Complex Ltd., then at The Plaza where she ascended to senior management. Throughout her career Eileen made lifelong friends. In 1988, while still working to care for her family, Eileen earned Language and Communication Certification from The University of Guyana Adult and Continuing Education Program. She left Consumer Goods Complex in 1996.

In 2000, Eileen migrated to Brooklyn, New York where she was employed by Partners in Care as a Home Health Aide. She dedicated her time providing compassionate care to patients in need for ten years, retiring 2010. On Sundays, she worshipped at the St Barnabas Episcopal Church in Brooklyn.  In 2017, she relocated to New Jersey and continued worshipping God at The Episcopal Church of St. Andrew & Holy Communion in South Orange, New Jersey until the COVID pandemic in 2020. Eileen loved spending time with family and friends, traveling, dancing, and listening to DJ Thunda and Shrimpy on the weekends.

Eileen was predeceased by her parents and two brothers, Lloyd Sr and Randolph. She is survived by her daughters, Carolyn Mitchell and Geraldine Stephens; her grandsons, Reynold Sampson and Maxie Stephens; and a host of family and friends.

May your soul rest in eternal peace. We will miss you, Mom!
