Eleanor L. Henricks

Ellen and I were very sad to hear of your mother's passing. We go back to when our middle daughter, Diane was in the Golden Bears Marching Band with Elise. She and I worked together on the Golen Circle of Bands and I enjoyed having such of wonderful person on the committee. She was wonderful with both the kids and parents. She would always do what needed to be done.

To Eleanor's Family - I am so sorry to hear of her passing! I knew Eleanor for many years through my sister Joan. She was such a sweet, kind person who did so much for so many! You all are in my prayers!

To the family of Mrs. Henricks:

I am so sorry for your loss. I was greatly saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Henricks for, although I hadn't seen her for a few years now, I have many fond memories of her and the times that she spent helping me find new and exciting books at the GFJ Memorial Library. When I was in elementary school I aspired to be just like Matilda and read every book in the children's section of the library, and Mrs. Henricks helped me out quite a lot in the...

To Eleanor's daughters:

My children and I were so sad to hear of your mom's passing. All three of them attended her story hours, during which she inspired their love of books, and we spent many hours during their pre-school years in the children's room of the library. Your mom spoke often of her daughters, and was obviously very proud of you. She was particularly fond of my daughter, who I named Eleanor.

Sincerely,

Hi Girls,
I learned of your mom's passing this morning at 7:30 Mass. I so wish I had known earlier so I could have paid my respects and seen you all. It's been years. I'm sorry for your loss. It brings a smile to my face when I reflect back on your teenage years and your mom's great effort to make sure music was part of your lives. Peace and love to you all,...(Is anyone still playing their clarinet?)

When I brought my girls to our weekly library visit they'd rush to the children's room as soon as I'd open the main entrance door. One wanted to beat the other to say a first "hello" to Eleanor. She'd greet us all with the biggest smile as she asked each girl how they week was going and what was keeping them busy after school. For many years my kids relied on Eleanor to pick out the best books for each of them. And she did - every time.

We think of her often and are so glad to...

I am so sorry to hear of Eleanor's passing. We'll miss her beautiful voice, and her kind and gentle spirit. Whenever she met you she always had positive encouragement and kind things to say. She was a wonderful example to live by. Her generosity will always be remembered. Our prayers are with you.

Elise,
I happened to be in Dallas,Texas playing grandmother for a week for my daughter, Amy (your old friend from high school) when the death notice appeared. We were both so saddened. I always enjoyed her cantor work at OLS. We shared many thoughts over the years with our volunteer work at OLS. She was always a role model to persevere and keep smiling. Prayers and sympathy to her family left behind. Joan and Amelia Eisch

Elise,Colette&Heather
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear mother. I met her a few years back when I joined a bunco group she was in. What a loving,kind, and giving person. We had such good times and many laughs. I feel so bad she didn't enjoy more years of her retirement. I moved to North Carolina last July so I was unable to attend her funeral. She will be missed by many as she touched many lives in her lifetime. My deepest sympathy to all of you girls and your families....
