It is with deepest regret to announce the passing of Eleanor Benson (nee Sheldon) on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at the age of 94 years. She is survived and will forever be remembered by her children, George, Jim (Jean), Marge (Duncan), Sue (Rod) and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Eleanor was predeceased by her husband, Harold, of 45 years and granddaughter, Kami. Eleanor always loved music and dance, her career as a registered nurse, but her greatest passion was time with family. The Family would like to thank all Foothills staff as well as all the dedicated Caregivers from Hillcrest Care Center.
