Eleanor Talbert Obituary
Ms. Talbert was born December 30, 1922 in Evanston, Illinois, the daughter of Charles D. M. and Nelle Deaton Houghton.
She worked in administrative support positions at the National Geographic and Sulgrave Club in Washington, D.C. After moving to the Front Royal area, she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at the Winchester Memorial Hospital. Her most personally rewarding position came in her later years, in the kitchen of the Retreat House at Holy Cross Abbey in Berryville, where her service became an expression of her faith.
Surviving are her three sons, Pierre Talbert of Wilmington, NC, Charles Talbert and his wife Vicky of Monona, WI, and Glenn Talbert of Thomasville, GA; and a granddaughter, Amelia Talbert of Wilmington, NC.
A brother, Evans Houghton, preceded her in death.
A mass will be held 2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 14, 2012, at the Holy Cross Abbey in Berryville with Abbot Robert Barnes, O.C.S.O. officiating. A graveside service will follow at 4:15 p.m. at her home. Immediately following the graveside service, the family will receive friends to celebrate her life.
Memorial contributions may be made to Blue Ridge Hospice, 333 W. Cork Street, Winchester, VA 22601.
Arrangements are being handled by Enders & Shirley Funeral Home, Berryville.

Mike and I want to express our deepest sympathy to Eleanor's family. Eleanor held a special place in our heart. We both will miss her dearly. I will certainly miss sitting with Eleanor and listening to tapes for our Bible study. She and I shared a love for animals and working in our flower garden. She has left an empty place in my heart. Knowing what great faith Eleanor had lets me know that I will see her again some day. Until then
Rest In Peace "my friend".
