Eleanor Samworth

Robert and family, so very sorry for your loss. Glad to know she was not alone when she passed.

I enjoyed knowing Eleanor while she was at Woodlawn. One of my nicest memories is when we went for a pedicure in June and then went for a ride around Saratoga lake. She told me about growing up in DE and some of her memories. It was an honor to spend time with her. She will be missed. Condolences to her family and friends. May she RIP.

I met Eleanor when my family moved to Saratoga Springs in 1998 when I was just 5 years old. I have a lot of fond memories of her throughout the years, from learning how to play golf in our side yard, gardening, and going on neighborhood bike rides with her. I last saw Eleanor at my wedding in 2019. She was a wonderful family friend and she will be greatly missed. Lots of love from the Treichel family.

I met Eleanor when she joined the 9 hole league at McGregor Links golf course. I always enjoyed playing with her. She had a great sense of humor and always was willing to give me helpful tips (which I obviously needed) on how to improve my game. I missed her when she stopped playing. My condolences to her family—she spoke of you often. Sincerely, Jan
