I am saddened to hear of Eleanor's passing. I was her RN when she attended Windsor House. She was a very special lady and will be missed greatly! It was an honor knowing her. I loved sharing nursing stories with her and also comparing "Ava" stories. I have a daughter Ava and She always talked about her granddaughter Ava. She was a great lady!

Our deepest sympathy to the Arsenault family. We were saddened to learn of Eleanors' passing. We all have so many memories of her, especially the night our first child was born and she was on duty at Labor and Delivery. She was so kind and made everything so much easier for us, even giving us the blanket Megan had been wrapped in so that we could bring it home to our dog and she would become accustomed to the scent. She will surely be missed by all.

To all of the Arsenaults, We were saddened to hear of your mothers' passing. We have such fond memories of her. A special memory is the night we had our first child and she was on duty in labor and delivery. She made everything so much easier, and even thought to give us the blanket Megan was wrapped in to bring home so our dog could become accustomed to the scent. She'll be missed by all. Love, The Foster Family

Ellie and I were the two nurses in the choir. We sat next to each other and had much in common. Ellie had a wonderful combination of class and heart. She will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.
