Eileen Roth

Eileen M. Roth, 65, died suddenly on Sept. 11, 2025, at her home in Hopkinton. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, she was the daughter of the late John and Mary (McClernon) Roth.

Eileen graduated from Boston University School of Nursing in 1981 and earned her master’s degree in health policy and management from Harvard School of Public Health in 1987. She worked as a nurse at Beth Israel, Mass General and Brigham and Women’s hospitals for many years.
 
Eileen is survived by her three brothers, John of Mullica Hill, New Jersey; Robert of Daytona Beach, Florida; and Thomas of Bristol, Connecticut. She also leaves her longtime companion, Russell Monast.

Eileen grew up skiing with her family, primarily in Vermont. In the late 1980s, she began volunteering at Loon Mountain in New Hampshire. Eileen was part of the original adaptive skiing program that now is the New England Disabled Sports (NEDS) program operated at Loon Mountain. During those early years, she also was part of the skier safety program affiliated with Loon Mountain’s ski patrol.

Eileen and Bob also were involved in an adaptive sailing program in Rhode Island, where she enjoyed sailing with her family.

She was an avid Red Sox fan and enjoyed attending games. In the spirit of Eileen’s passion for adaptive sports programs, the family requests donations be made in Eileen’s name to New England Disabled Sports.

A memorial funeral Mass will be celebrated Saturday, Oct. 18, at 10 a.m. in St. John the Evangelist Church, Hopkinton. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Callanan Cronin Funeral Home, Hopkinton.
