Eleanor was born in Calgary on September 3, 1918. She married Byron L. Berlin in 1943. They travelled extensively in Canada and the U.S.A. Her main enjoyment in life was their cabin at Lac des Arc where they enjoyed 35 years of dinners and BBQ’s with family and friends. She enjoyed playing bridge, was very active in the 783 (Calgary) Wing Royal Canadian Air Force Association, the Optimist Club of Calgary, and especially enjoyed working with young people.

She was predeceased by her husband Barnie in 1996. She leaves to mourn a son Barrie (Cheryl) Berlin; daughter Peggy (Bill) Gordon; granddaughters Shelley (Mike) Mosher, Jennifer Berlin, Jessica (Shane) Bisziel, and Kirsten (Colin) Pratt; great-grandchildren Nevyn, Ayla, Kyle, Benjamin, Erica, Griffin, and Kevin; and cousins Donna (Al) Russell and Pat (Charlie) Smith.

At Eleanor’s request there will be no service.
