Cathy, Elaine and Jean, I was sad to get the news that Aunt Eloise had passed away. My fondest memories of spending time with Aunt Eloise was when she taught me how to make those beautiful beaded flowers - so long ago.
I will pray for all of you to have a peacefulness in your minds and hearts that only our Lord can provide.
much love, Carroll White Jarrett (Jack, Jessica, Jeremy and Justin)

Eloise was always kind to everyone around her and even to us invaders from the west as I worked with her at the museum. She had a keen wit. She adapted well to the ever-changing DCR technology initiatives and was so bright, patient, and hardworking . We will miss her. Our deepest sympathy goes out to her loved ones. -Robin Baneth and family
