Eleanor "Lennie" Bennett

Sixty plus years ago I took ballet classes with Lennie at Pauline Buhner's Dance Studio in Rosier Park. I had moved away from Florida and have recently returned. An article I read today reminded me of her so I searched to find her obituary of less than one month! I send condolences to her family. Even as a childhood dance classmate she was so cute, caring and friendly. I know you will miss her terribly.

She was the epitome of grace and breeding..Lennie was the person who remembered your favorite movie and presented it to you as a gift.Lennie hosted my pre wedding luncheon at the Yacht club.She was in awe of my solo journey to India.Lennie was one of the most special people I have ever had the privilege to know.Sail on silver girl.

Lennie Bennett was my English teacher at St. Pete Catholic High School and she was one of the most important influences on me at that time and in my path forward in life. I loved literature and was fortunate to have Lennie for multiple courses and I was also her Teacher's Assistant senior year. She took a personal interest in me (and my future husband, Dan) as she knew we both had to work to pay many of our own bills as our families were struggling financially at the time. I'll never...

So sorry for your loss. Ms Bennett was the best English teacher at St Pete Catholic. She encouraged me to read many different authors. Over time I would see her around. Always saying hello and telling her she was the best. May she rest in peace and prayers for her family

Lennie was an erudite, intelligent and kind person. She was always the well-mannered Southern lady. We are so sorry to hear of her death. Our condolences to her family,

A very Honorable and Exemplary life...

Lennie was great at what she did. She earned the respect of the art community as the mere mention of her name would gain us special access. She always made me feel seen. She will be missed. May her legacy live on and her soul rest in peace.

I'm so sorry to hear of Lennie's passing. I remember her fondly from childhood. She was kind and loving toward me. My mom and her mom were best friends and I spent many afternoons at her house with Johnny, Billy and Aunt Marjorie and Uncle Bill. She will be missed. Although I haven't seen her in many years I have many fond memories of her. I pray for peace for her family
