Eleanor MacDonnell was my piano teacher in Alameda for 10+ years in my youth. All I know about playing piano started with her lessons. I also got my first puppy from a litter of her dog Fifi! Her daughter Mary, who pre-deceased her, was in my grammar school class. I'm glad she lived a long rich life. She will be remembered fondly!

Eleanor was an oblate of Saint Benedict's Monastery. May she rest in peace. Our sisters are praying for her and for all of you who mourn her loss.
