"Ma" Burns is what I called her after visiting and staying with her for a week years ago. She was an intellectual, humorous, and caring woman who will be missed by all. Love and prayers, Judy

Eleanor was a wonderful Aunt. She was always extremely nice, generous and friendly to me as a young boy growing up. I looked forward greatly to seeing her on weekly visits to her house and specially enjoyed the times she had me over to dinner for jumbo shrimp.

Special people like Eleanor make the world a better place for all who come in contact with them.

I am sure she is enjoying God's blessings for the wonderful person she was.
