Elinor was born January 23, 1940 in Carlsberg, Germany and moved with her parents to Canada in the early 1950’s. The Alberni Valley was her home for most of her life.
She was predeceased by her brother Klaus and by her parents John and Mathilde Kempa.
Elinor is survived by her devoted husband, Peter Schroeder and her loving sons Alan (Janey), Ron (Belinda) and extended family.
Known for her elegant style, Elinor was a unique, warm, loving woman who touched the lives of many. Her working years were spent as a nurse at West Coast General Hospital. She was a gifted cook who enjoyed her home, garden and nature. Her quiet Christian faith sustained her throughout her life. Elinor will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Thank you to the wonderful staff in the Intensive Care Unit at West Coast General Hospital for the loving care provided to Elinor.
A celebration of Elinor’s life will take place on November 19th @ 12:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 6211 Cherry Creek Road, Port Alberni, B.C.
