MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Eileen Little, 90, of Hoyt Lakes, died Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2013, at her daughter and son-in-law’s home in Minneapolis.

Eileen enjoyed time spent with her children and grandchildren, playing bridge with friends and casino trips with her daughter. Especially meaningful was a family cruise taken to Egypt, Greece and Turkey. We wish to thank hospice of the Twin Cities for their loving, kind care; especially to Ann, Heather and Rhonda.
