I greatly enjoyed working with Eleanor at Summit HS. One day I was having a conversation with Eleanor in her office and I commented that she had an awesome, old-school desk and I was envious.

I loved Aunt Eleanor. Whenever she and "Uncle Rich" (Dick) would visit Indiana they would always make sure to set aside some time to visit with me.

Eleanor is forever one of my favorite and we had a beautiful journey together. She was the most kindest soul ever. It was so easy to cared for her. She never stressed me out no matter which day it was and I will miss her very much. May her soul rest peacefully in heaven. Missed you deeply
