Obituary of Eleanor Ann Burr
Eleanor Ann Burr, age 90, of Buckhannon, WV went to be with The Lord Saturday, August 5, 2023, at St. Joseph's Hospital. She was born August 23, 1932, a daughter of the late Clayton and Marie Pullen Edwards. On October 27, 1951, she married Joseph Allen Burr, who preceded her in death on October 30, 1995. Also preceding are her sister Shirley Schudel and brothers David, Tom, and Raymond Edwards. She is survived by two sons, David Burr and wife Sharon and Pat Burr and wife Jackie, all of Buckhannon; four granddaughters, Jessica Burr of Clarksburg, Megan Woody and husband K.J. of Buckhannon, Miranda Burr and partner Scott Christian of Washington, D.C., and Erin Burr and partner Jon Nowak of Washington, D.C.; one great-granddaughter, Ashton McKane of Charlotte, NC; four great-grandsons, Jackson McKane and Keygan Warne of Clarksburg, Kyler Woody and wife Lindsay of Buckhannon and Kasen Woody of Jacksonville, FL; one great-great grandson, Kevin Woody of Buckhannon; two sisters, Judy Eidman of Millsboro, DE and Christine Payne of Buckhannon; several nieces, nephews and best friend, Betty Strader of Buckhannon. Eleanor was a Christian by faith. Affectionally known as Ellie by friends, neighbors, and co-workers, she was devoted to her community. After retiring from Moore Business Forms, she and Joe traveled while working with Ballinger Paving, and then joined the Buckhannon Walmart team. Eleanor was a former member of the Moose Club and a proud Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) member, who always sparkled in her signature color gold. Participating in various tournaments, she was an avid bowler and loved playing bingo. With a big heart for her family and friends, and a witty sense of humor, she will be deeply missed by all who loved her. A special thanks to Marge for always checking on her and feline companion Dexi. The family would like to thank the Doctors, Nurses and Staff at St. Joseph's Hospital for their care, kindness and support. Friends will be received Saturday, August 19, 2023, from 12 pm - 2 pm, for a memorial gathering at the South Buckhannon Mission Church. A memorial service will be held at 2 pm with Pastor Ed Lowther officiating. Burial will follow in the Mt. Olive Cemetery in Hinkleville, WV. Online condolences may be made to the family at www.polingstclair.com. Poling-St. Clair Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
