We’ll always remember Eleanore’s sunny smile. Many fond memories of family Christmas Eve’s together. Eleanore and Frank were a fun couple who enjoyed a well lived life. Always liked being around them. Our sympathy to all.

Alicia & Ken,
Thank you for your condolences. It was nice to read your kind words
and personal thoughts about my mother. I truly appreciated it and she
would have also. She always enjoyed spending time with you and your
family over the years.
It is hard letting go when they have been around so long

She was a lovely lady. We lived next door to her and Frank in Downers Grove for 11 years. Always thought of them as surrogate Grandparents to my sons. Shared many fun times. Heartfelt condolences to you.
Thank you joanne for your kind words .My parents enjoyed having you and Gary as neighbors and spoke fondly of your Boys.
Working at Vineyard Assisted Living I got to know Ellie very well. She always made me smile and always knew exactly what to say to make your day better. Alot of people knew but Ellie was my person. She was my favorite resident and we had a special bond. We always said “Hello sunshine” when we saw each other and she would always say “You are the best one” and always give me a hug before I left for the day.
My heart goes out to the family. And just know that Ellie touched alot of lives and made alot of people smile! My prayers and peace are sent to the family! 💛💛💛
Thank you for the kindness and care you provided our Mother durring your time at the Vineyard. Our family is greatfull to you and all the Staff We know that Ellie is in a better place now back together with her Husband and other family members.

I always loved Eleanore’s spunk and energy. (I didn’t always need the pinching of my sides..haha; but I always looked forward to my new pair of socks every Christmas from her 🙂 alongside something special from Frank’s woodshop 😉
She will definitely be missed. My thoughts are with you all. -Elizabeth
thank you for sharing your memories of our Mother. First I learned of the pinching . You shared something special with her.
