Greenfield, MA - Eleanore E. (Fealey) Wallner, 96, passed away Saturday September 20, 2025, with loving family by her side. She was born in Mt. Vernon, NY on November 21, 1928, the daughter of Michael and Eleanor (Knoll) Fealey.

Besides her parents, Eleanore was predeceased by her husband of 65 years, Frank Wallner on May 14, 2018. She leaves her five children: Michael Wallner, Valerie Amor and Mordechai Amor, Richard Wallner and his wife Joyce Davis, Thomas Wallner and his wife Laurie and Betty Scotti and her husband Daniel.

Additionally, she has five great grandchildren: Juliana, Matthew, Mason, Camden and Micah and many cousins.

Eleanore attended local schools in Milwaukee and graduated from Riverside University High School in Milwaukee, WI, class of 1946. She continued her education earning a Bachelor of Science in Education at the Milwaukee State Teachers College, now known as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She enjoyed working as a Kindergarten teacher for 2 years earning her teaching certificate before marrying Frank and moving to Massachusetts to start a family.

Her love of animals and nature's beauty, especially flowers, was well known by everyone who knew her. So much so that no one was allowed to cut the grass too early in the spring until the flowers were done blooming! She had a passion for crossword puzzles and always had them near her. As an active member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, she was in charge of the Altar Guild for many years and taught Sunday School, as well. She holds the distinction of being the longest standing member of the church. Her deeply held faith in God was foundational to how she lived her life.
