So many wonderful memories of Eleanor-our family were the neighbors behind the white fence and my mom, Penny, and Eleanor would chat oh so frequently at the fence! They shared so much together and we all truly treasured the Profis family. She always had the prettiest smile and exuded such warmth! She will not be forgotten.

Eleanor and Jim Profis were our neighbors from the time we moved into Arlington in 1970. We were very sorry to hear of Eleanor“s passing and know that she was very happy living close to Katherine and her family. Our thoughts are with both Katherine and Dean.
