Feeding Hills – Eleanor D. (O’Neil) Beauchane, 97, beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, passed peacefully on Monday morning at Mercy Hospital surrounded by her loving family. Eleanor was born in Springfield on June 24, 1922 to the late James and Dora (Wilson) O’Neil.

Eleanor loved listening to Springfield Thunderbird hockey games on the radio, going to the casino, and sipping on a Manhattan. She was trained as a commercial artist and worked for many years at Eastern Etching in Chicopee. Eleanor’s greatest joy in life was spending time with her family who will carry on her loving spirit.

Beauchane; her brothers James O’Neil, Joe Hickson, Sam Hickson; and sisters Mary Bovat, MaryRose Hickson, and Joan Weddle. She leaves a son George J. Beauchane, daughter Ellen Janik and her husband Doug Sr.; grandson Doug Janik Jr. and his wife Kristin, granddaughter Carrie Mayer and her husband Bobby, granddaughter Amanda Lizotte and her husband Dan, and grandson Andre Beauchane; four great grandchildren Douglas, Jackson, Owen, and Sammy; her sister-in-law Dolores Hickson; and many nieces and nephews. The family wishes to thank the caregivers at Pioneer Valley Home Care Services who brought care and companionship to Eleanor each day. The funeral will be held at the Agawam Curran-Jones Funeral Home Thursday at 10:30am with Liturgy in Sacred Heart Church at 11:30am followed by burial in the Massachusetts Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery.

You made my days, you made me smile
a woman of grace, and beautiful style
You shared memories, of people past
now those my thoughts, will forever last
Now you're an Angel, in heaven above
gracing those clouds with those we love
Eleanor, when God took you home,
a piece of me went with you, in return,
you will forever live within my heart
and soul which means you never passed.
My heart felt condolences to all of Eleanor's family and friends...

God, please place your hands upon our family in our time of grieving. I didn't know Aunt El very well. I met her when i was very young. I am praying for peace for the whole Janik family. I hope her and all her other siblings are having a wonderful reunion in heaven.
