Eleanor Viola Bouwman

Our deepest sympathy to all 4 of Eleanor's 4 kids. She and your Dad were good neighbors when we lived in Akron so many years ago. Whenever we were back in Akron to see relatives or for happenings at Trinity, we would usually get to see her & give hugs. She was so proud of each of you & told us what was going on with each of you. We are sorry we were unable to get to her funeral but are thinking of each of you. Remember all the good & fun times you all shared together. Laughter is so...

My Sympathy to Eleanors family. What a wonderful lady. Was glad I got to visit with some of the family after Mom passed away. Theres a lot of special angels in Heaven. Hard losing that last parent. Hugs to everyone!!!

My condolences on your loss of a kind hearted person! I loved when Eleanor came to Maynard's to shop when I was on duty. Always a smile on that lady's face! Will never forget the time the guy taking her groceries out to her van accidentally locked her doors and the van was running! He took her to her house in his car to get her spare keys. All the while she was giggling and smiling about the situation. She will be a happy angel! Melinda Dion

Eleanor was one of the kindest people I ever knew .

Thinking of your family in the loss of your mom. I enjoyed visiting with Eleanor when I came to visit my mom at the care center. I very much enjoyed her. Prayers to you...

Our sympathy to your family. Eleanor provided a caring and stable environment for our son as he was in her care. Jim and Joanne Smith

So very sorry for your lo lose! Our thoughts and prayers are with you

My sympathy to the Bouwman family. I enjoyed knowing Eleanor during my years working as the Trinity Lutheran Church office secretary and beyond.

My sympathies to all of you. I would occasionally see your mom/grandma out walking when Id be out with my dog or downtown running errands. She would always stop to visit or share stories, pet my dog or wave to me if she was driving by in her van. I so enjoyed those moments; she just made me feel so special. I will certainly miss our little chats, her kind spirit and warm smile.
