Aunt Eleanor was always a favorite of the Idaho and Alaska nephew, niece-in-law and grands. I was just telling a friend right before she passed how lovely and "put together" she always looked, even in advanced age as her cognitive abilities declined. She was always full of love and fun. I know her kids, grands, and great grands will greatly miss her. Sending love to one and all.
