Left to cherish her memory are her children; Janice (Robert) Drager, Glenda (Dale) Nuoffer, Kathleen (David) Neumeister and Edgar (Sherry) Owens; 12 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren.
Eleanor loved to spend time with her family. She always liked to be around people. Eleanor wanted to be involved in any activity she could be a part of. She was a very organized, intelligent, and frugal individual. Eleanor worked hard at raising 5 children, and she put a lot of energy into her faith and church. Eleanor was a member of the Olivet Baptist Church for over 21 years. She was not one to miss church. If Eleanor could not make it out to church services she would attend services at her facility.
