Eleanor was born May 5, 1931, in Maza, North Dakota, to William G Bradshaw and Christine Holien. At the age of three months, her parents packed five children into an old Ford Model T and headed across dirt and gravel roads for Idaho. They settled in Milner, Idaho, where she grew up. She graduated from Burley High School in 1949. She married Lowell Hewlett on Aug. 15, 1952, in Twin Falls. In 1957 they moved to Burley where she resided until June of 2021. She and Lowell had four children together, David, Kelly, Gary, Susie.

Eleanor was a receptionist for Dr. A. Paul Brown, Dr. Kevin Stock, and Dr. Steve Garn for 29 years, retiring in October of 2002. She was a member of Burley United Methodist Church, Mini-Cassia Garden Club, Red Hats, P.E.O., and Iris Better Homes. She loved to plant and take care of flowers. Her yard and flower gardens were always beautiful. Our family went to Stanley every summer for many, many years. She enjoyed floating the Salmon River with her son, Kelly. She loved her church family; they always took such good care of her and Lowell.
