You will be missed ...

Elinor was a generous and thoughtful friend and neighbor at Towerhill for over thirty years, Her ever positive attitude was an inspiration to all who knew her. She will be missed.

Elinor was one of the most unusual people I've known. Every time with Elinor was always full of good times and wonderful conversation. She was a superb hostess and chef. She was unique, full of knowledge and interesting thoughts. Her spirit remains with me always.

Excellent run girl! You have set the bar high for the rest of us and certainly have been a big influence/motivator here at the MARCH Wellness Center. You will be missed and it's hard to believe you are no longer here.

Elinor's ability to focus on "the task at hand" when she attended exercise class was awesome but she was also ready and willing to ask about her colleagues, express concern and was always up to the minute on the happenings in the world. A sharp and kind woman. We have missed her these past months and will continue to hold her in high regard and affection.

Ted and Elinor were our neighbors in West Linn, until Ted's passing. They were great neighbors. The family has our sympathy at this difficult time. Bob and Arlene Fosberg

Elinor and Ted were great neighbors and friends. I always admired her good humor and no nonsense manner. The chicken soup she brought when I was sick was typical of her generous nature/
