Eleanor was born in Ashland, PA and grew up in Orange, NJ. She decided to become a funeral director and graduated from Miami Dade over 50 years ago. She was hired by RJ Kraeer in August of 1982 and served this community for over 44 years. Eleanor gave her life to our company. She met her husband who also worked for Kraeer Dick McCarthy over 40 years and they helped thousands of families with their tireless service and care. Eleanor was the first female manager of Kraeer Sample Road but she didn't like being a manager. Eleanor truly loved being a front line funeral director. It was her passion and she was the best.
