Elinor R. Vaher

born July 13, 1935 in Loves Park, Illinois to Henry and Grace (Teachout) Easton.

Elinor and her husband Ted enjoyed 33 years of camping and fishing while traveling in their motor home. They both especially enjoyed trips to Canada. After Ted’s passing, Elinor met another camping and traveling companion Ed. They also enjoyed 33 years. Spending winters in Florida, far away from the harsh Illinois weather, was their favorite. Her many hobbies were, reading, crocheting and card games. Elinor loved board games, especially Aggravation, which her and Ed played with family and friends. Let’s just say they were very competitive!

She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Theodore Vaher; companion Edwin Quick; and siblings, Robert, Raymond, Donald, Howard, Eloise, Gilbert and Alice.
