I was a young woman when I met Eleanor and Albert in New Mexico. My first impression was how she loved her family. I will always remember the bright, beautiful wife, mother, businesswoman. You made a difference in my life, Eleanor. Love to Rich and Jeff,
your old friend, Pell

Her laughter and love touched so very many people. She will be truly missed but I know that Heaven will be brighter because of her presence there.

She was such a blessing to so many. A lot of people could call her "Mom". She gave from her heart and could keep a room full of people in stitches. I will miss her so much. When she loved you it was with her whole heart and you knew you were loved.

A tribute to Eleanor:
My mom moved into Elmcroft several months after Eleanor. Immediately Eleanor and her room mate Edna befriended my mom Helen. My mom seemed lost and confused so many times but Eleanor took her by the hand and showed her to her room or to the dining hall. Eleanor knew I often came right after dinner so often stayed with my mom until I arrived. She was such a blessing to me and my mom. Whenever I saw her sitting in the center area I would give her a hug. She was a blessing to us.
