Eleanor, also known as Pinky, loved all her family and those were truly her dearest friends. She was very giving and had a generous heart.

She had a playful and imaginative spirit that was wonderful to be around.
Eleanor loved to laugh, sing, dance, paint, garden and take long walks with her beloved husband and little dog, Gracie. She will be greatly missed.
