Elenore S. Freedman

My condolences to the family of Eleanor. She was just a great lady, I had lots of conversations with her while pampering her toes and hair. I loved hearing everything she had to say. She told me that she drove to Harvard once a month. I was in Awe' . Thats just amazing!! Time to rest now Eleanor and now you can educate all of the Angels in Heaven. They will be inspired by you for sure . Love Debra

A great leader who was an inspiration for many of us who aspired to be school leaders! A role model of the highest order!

Dorrie,

Many years have passed since our days in Mrs. Edmond's chorus at Bedford Memorial School. I am very sorry to learn of the passing of your mother.

I met Ellie when I became a facilitator for the School Improvement Program in the late 80s. In those memorable years Ellie led with vision and passion, inspiring all of us who worked for her, although the experience was much more with her. We stayed connected over the years, exchanging holiday cards and occasional phone calls. We loved talking politics and family! My last visit with Ellie was in 2019 before Covid. She was honest and brave about aging, she was warm and caring as a listener,...

I was the Freedman´s babysitter when Dottie and Hal were children and remember their Mom as a beautiful, kind, caring person. So sorry for your loss.

Dear Dorrie and Hal, It has been many years since Sue and I have had contact with your mother. We both remember all of the good times we had in those early Bedford days and want you to know that we extend our sympathies on your profound loss. Sue and Norman Stahl

Your mother and I often crossed paths during my thirty plus years working at Derryfield. Always (and you know your mom) during my tenure as college counselor, your mom always asked "why aren't these kids going to better schools?" They were, but you mom's college filter was a narrow one! Loved her spirit and her caring. A great, great woman.

Dear Hal, so sad to hear about your mother's passing, although I didn't know her personally I do remember that she was a close friend of my mothers. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Ellie, a treasure still to those who knew her and to so many who never had the chance. Our love and prayers are with her and with her family.
