Eleanor Bower Obituary
Eleanor was born on October 12th, 1934, and grew up near Troy, Idaho, until in her teens when her parents moved to the Spokane Valley. Eleanor was the Salutatorian of the Class of 1952 at Central Valley High School. There she met her husband of 71 years, Donald Ray Bower and they married October 3rd of 1953 at the Valley Methodist Church.
Eleanor was predeceased by her parents, MInnie and Art Danielson, her older brother Douglas who died in childhood, her older sister Dorothy Jean Danielson Arneberg, and her oldest and only son Dennis Ray Bower. She is survived by her husband Donald and two daughters, Susan Golden and Lois Sargent, six grandchildren, two great grandchildren and two step grand-daughters and their children.
No services will be held at this time, as Eleanor outlived pretty much everyone she knew.
Eleanor's remains will be interred together with Don's at a future time in the Danielson family plot in St. Maries, Idaho.
