 Aileen was born in Cincinnati to Ann and Maurice Behrendt. In 1953, she married the love of her life, Robert, and moved to St. Louis where they were happily married for over 60 years. Aileen and Robert traveled the world, enjoyed collecting antiques, savored fine dining, and above all else, spending time with their family. Aileen co-owned an antique gallery and later became a travel agent.

Aileen was a kind and loving woman with a charming, outgoing personality everyone loved.  She was always there for her family and friends; she was cherished by all, and will be missed every day.
