Eleanor McGinniss Obituary
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Thomas and Kathleen (Hannon) McGinniss, Eleanor was a proud graduate of St. Canice High School. Following her graduation, she moved to New York City, where she built a long and successful career in the financial services sector. Over the years, she held operational leadership roles at Royal Bank of Scotland, NatWest, and IDB Bank, and later provided private consulting services to clients throughout the industry.
Eleanor was known for her sharp intellect, kindness and generosity. Outside of work, she found great joy in traveling, reading, and spending time with her beloved family and friends.
She is survived by her siblings Kathleen Haddow (McGinniss) and her husband John Haddow of St. George, Utah; Thomas McGinniss of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Theresa Galloway of Jacksonville, Florida as well as dozens of nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends who will miss her deeply.
Eleanor was predeceased by her parents, Thomas McGinniss of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Kathleen McGinniss (Hannon) of Portumna, County Galway, Ireland, and by her loving brother, James M. McGinniss of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
