Eleanor loved to spend time with her family. She always liked to be around people. Eleanor wanted to be involved in any activity she could be a part of. She was a very organized, intelligent, and frugal individual. Eleanor worked hard at raising 5 children, and she put a lot of energy into her faith and church.
