Eleanor Templeton Obituary
Eleanor Elaine Campbell Templeton, 85, of Statesville, passed away peacefully Saturday, Feb. 6, 2021, at Rosewood Assisted Living in Harmony.
She was born Sept. 30, 1935, in Iredell County, the daughter of the late Silas W. Campbell and Nannie Bell Wallace Campbell. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her two husbands, Roger D. Templeton and Tommy Williams; brothers, Wilford Campbell, Brice Campbell and J.B. Campbell; and sister, Alma Crater.
Eleanor was a life-long member of Sandy Ridge United Methodist Church and a lady of faith. She retired after a 30 year career with J.P. Stephens, a textile company in Statesville. She enjoyed gardening, growing vegetables that she later canned in her kitchen, and loved to collect Depression glass. Most of all she was devoted to her family and loved spending time in their company.
Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Barry Templeton and wife, Pattie, and Mike D. Templeton and wife, Cynthia; grandchildren, Nicole Ziecik (Michael), Katie Collins (Cliff), Lisa Ross and Lesley Keith; 12 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and numerous nieces, nephews and other loving family.
A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m., Friday, Feb. 12, at Sandy Ridge United Methodist Church Cemetery, 1497 Friendship Rd., in Statesville, with Pastor David Locke Officiating.
