Our deepest sympathy to all 4 of Eleanor's 4 kids. She and your Dad were good neighbors when we lived in Akron so many years ago. Whenever we were back in Akron to see relatives or for happenings at Trinity, we would usually get to see her & give hugs. She was so proud of each of you & told us what was going on with each of you. We are sorry we were unable to get to her funeral but are thinking of each of you. Remember all the good & fun times you all shared together. Laughter is so good for your spirits & souls.

My condolences on your loss of a kind hearted person! I loved when Eleanor came to Maynard's to shop when I was on duty. Always a smile on that lady's face! Will never forget the time the guy taking her groceries out to her van accidentally locked her doors and the van was running! He took her to her house in his car to get her spare keys. All the while she was giggling and smiling about the situation. She will be a happy angel! Melinda Dion

My sympathies to all of you. I would occasionally see your mom/grandma out walking when Id be out with my dog or downtown running errands. She would always stop to visit or share stories, pet my dog or wave to me if she was driving by in her van. I so enjoyed those moments; she just made me feel so special. I will certainly miss our little chats, her kind spirit and warm smile.
