Eleanor always tried her best to help others and always had a cheerful face and a cheerful word for those she came in contact with. When she married my Grandfather she always tried to keep him first and tried to make him happy.

I remember Aunt Eleanor as a smiling happy person. Even after Uncle Ambrose passed away, she kept in touch and always wrote a nice note at Christmas. My heart goes out to the Family at this very sad time.

I remember Aunt Eleanor as full of life. With Uncle Ambrose they were always so much fun to be around. My sympathy to family members at her passing.
