Eleanor was of the “invincible” World War II generation; stoic, strong, hardworking, and fun loving. Those who knew her, held her class and grace in high esteem. She will be remembered for the beauty she always saw in God’s world about her.

Private family services will be held at a later date in Lima, OH, when she is brought “home” for burial in Gethsemani Cemetery.
