Eleanor Albert Obituary
Visitation for Eleanor W. Albert, 98, of Long Grove, will be held on Friday, May 2, 2025, from 1:00pm until the time of the Funeral Mass at 2:00pm at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, 33 S. Buesching Rd, Lake Zurich, IL. A private Interment will take place at a later date.
Eleanor was born on July 8, 1926, to Eugene and Julia Porten. She peacefully passed away at home on April 18, 2025, surrounded by her family.
Eleanor was the beloved wife of the late Joseph A. Albert for over 60 years. She was the devoted mother of the late Joseph Albert, Gene (Mary) Albert, Mark Albert, and Lisa (Vince) Nora. Cherished grandmother of Gino, Allison, JP, Joey, Ashley, Markie, Madeline, Anthony, Sarah, and John; and lovingly known as “GG” to her 13 great-grandchildren. Eleanor also leaves behind her beloved dog, Luigi, who was always by her side.
Eleanor was truly one of a kind—devoted to her family above all else and loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Her warmth, strength, and generous spirit left a lasting impression on everyone she met. She built a beautiful legacy through the love and care she shared with her family and friends. Eleanor will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation or JourneyCare Hospice of Barrington, IL.
