We are so Sorry about your Loss, our Thoughts and Prayers are with you all in this difficult sad time.
Norma Fink and Family

My grandmother will be greatly missed! I remember spending a great deal of time with her as a child. I have so many fond memories of her! I´ll never forget our library trips, watching her act in the play, making cookies, playing "store" with the office supplies from my grandpas sheet metal business, the picnics, many trips, cooking, and the list goes on and on. Until we meet again grandma. I love you!

What a beautiful obituary to an extra ordinary woman. Now I understand her glow listening to David beautifully play the French horn. I recall how I thought it astounding when she was attending classes at KSC earning her degree. David, I’m so sorry for your loss and I pray you will recall how she loved you and all the good moments you had together.
My condolences to you all.

You were a wonderful mom to me!
Love, your son from Omaha, Nick.

I enjoyed working with Elinor at the old Hospital. She was sweet, caring, fun, lady I am so sorry to hear of her passing.

May your wonderful memories bring you peace and strength.

Jerry and family, so sorry to hear of EJ´s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Tom and Nancy

What a wonderfulfully written tribute I learned so much. I knew Elinor Jean from the Broken Bow Community Playhouse days of the early 1980s. She played a part of one of the town folk in The Music Man. My memory of her was as being a busy and organized woman -always on time, had her part down pat, and once practice was over - gone to tend to other aspects of her productive life. I hope your family will have a great celebration with lots more memory sharing.

What a beautiful tribute to this special Lady...May God be with her family at this time.
