I was Mrs. Schimke's mail lady before she moved to Arbor. She had such a kind and warm spirit and always gave me home made cookies for Christmas. I was able to visit her once at Arbor and I was amazed that she was as sharp as ever. My sympathy to the family for the loss of such a dear soul.

Mary Ann joins me in expressing our sympathy over the loss of this intelligent and knowledgeable women. Our stay in North Dakota during the Schimke reunion was immeasurably enhanced by Eleanor's stories at the grandparents cemetery and over many cups of coffee. May we all be remembered as fondly as we remember Eleanor. Our family history is important to all of the survivors and she afforded us that missing link.
Sincerely, Tom Schimke, son of Alvin's brother, Emil

I'll miss...

To the family and friends of Eleanor. I worked for Eleanor as her house-keeper some years back. She was a gracious woman. When you heart is empty, filling it with happy memories can help. Memories of love and friendship are treasures to carry with you always.
