Eloise displayed the love of God and kindness to everyone.  She radiated to others the joy she had in her heart,  for the passion she had for life.  She spread her light and thoughtfulness to whoever was in need of feeling loved.  Her strong desire to remember her friends and family with cards and special gifts was like no other. Her presence in our Sunday School Class brought a special feeling to our members of caring and kindness beyond measure.  Eloise became a very dear and special friend, we will never forget.  She truly was an angel here on earth, always making a difference.  Eloise represented the "hands and feet of God",  with her shared love.

Eloise was a precious friend. We were in the same covenant discipleship group for over 30 years. What a blessing she has been in my life. Eloise was an encourager. I was the recipient of her thoughtful words more times than I can remember, whether verbally or in one of the beautiful cards she would make and send.  She always had a positive attitude and a willing spirit. You will be missed Eloise ... your beautiful smile, your infectious laugh, your purple clothes and your words of faith.  What fun we have had. Thank you for being such a special part of my life and for the prayers you lifted on my behalf. Love you ... and I will always remember to "take the first circus"! 

I’ll always remember Eloise for her generosity. She never failed to volunteer to donate to a cause or endeavor our church school class was involved in.  She had a hugh heart and beautiful spirit.  God Bless

I so appreciated Eloise’s positive attitude.  She was definitely a “ray of sunshine” to our Sunday School class.  We miss her & will continue to remember & be grateful for her example!

Aunt Eloise was my favorite aunt growing up because 1. She had a purple bathroom & 2. She was short like me.  If you asked her my name, it was "Little Susie", even though I'm almost 40 now. Getting to go anywhere with Aunt Eloise was a big deal.  She always planned get togethers for us when our cousins came to town.  She had a knack for bringing everyone together.  She was so fun to be around.  More recent memories include lots of stories of Elizabeth.  She was ever so proud of her Elizabeth.  I am also glad my kids had the chance to witness  their 80+ yr old great aunt dressed up in a Halloween costume. That is their favorite memory of her.  I'm grateful they got a small taste of how fun Aunt Eloise was.  
Our condolences to you all.  Happy that she is Home.  Looking forward to having her bring us all back together again in September. 

We will miss our Great Aunt Eloise so much. She was a very special woman in our family. We will always remember her zest for life, her handmade cards, and those many long distance phone calls. Lots of love...will never forget you. 

Probably 1 of the greatest women I have ever had the chance  of knowing for over 30 years.  My 2nd mom, loved doing for others and truly enjoyed life. You will greatly missed. 

I enjoyed having a hotdog,chips,soda with my mother in law once a week at sams,we would set and talk and laugh and just had a awesome day together.I look forward talking with her once a week when we moved to Georgia.She showed me what caring and sharing was.I enjoyed every second with my mother in law and she was like my mom,Thank u mom for showing me everything,You will be missed in my life every day and every minute,I love u with all my heart,thank u mom,from your son in law Kevin aka Hose Nose.U will be miss in my heart but I have all the memories that will Never be forgotten.
