Eleanor worked at CA Reed in Williamsport for over 18 years. She was a member of All Saints Episcopal Church.

She loved playing bingo, and often enjoyed playing cards or crocheting.  Eleanor was also a talented practical joker, always ready with a clever prank or a witty remark, often hiding under a bed or in a closet to scare the recent viewers of Ghost Story or Unsolved Mystery.

In addition to her role as a loving mother, Eleanor was a doting Gram who was dedicated to her grandchildren. She took great pride in their accomplishments and was always eager to share stories of their latest achievements. Eleanor's love for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren was unconditional, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
