Every time I went to see her, I always fondly remember that Grandma would great me with a smile and cheerful little wave. She always loved to ask me how I was doing, and was always ready to comfort me when I was down or shower me with love. She told me many silly jokes and stories and loved to watch cat videos with me and see how our kittens were doing. I really liked to sit down next to her and show her new things, and she'd always seem so fascinated by the little toys or drawings or figures I'd bring. She made sure to keep telling me that she loved my work, and that I should be proud of it. She also always told me "aren't you hungry?" or "have you eaten anything yet?" when she saw me, because she wanted to make sure I'd eaten and was full. Even when I told her yes, though, she'd keep trying to give me food or snacks anyways, like chocolates or crackers. She was the kindest, most loving grandmother in the world, and I am so blessed to have had such a wonderful person in my life.

I remember going over to Grandma and Grandpa's house often as a child. Every time we were there she would ask me, "how tall are you?" She loved to ask me that. I never quite knew why. Maybe it was because  I towered over her at an early age, or maybe it was because I was her grandson.  Either way, I always loved hearing her ask. I never got tired of it. And that was good, because she never stopped asking.  Well past the time I had stopped growing she would continue asking how tall I was, every single time.  It almost became a little ritual between us. It was something small, but I loved to hear her ask it. She was an amazing grandma, and I will love her always.

Grandma Eleanor was always very special to me. Every time I saw her she would pinch my cheeks and say, "You are beau-ti-ful, inside and out."  I remember going to her house on the weekends for sleepovers. I would sit on her lap and she would sing  "You Are My Sunshine" and we would watch TV until I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. She was so loving and generous, she never let me leave her house without taking something. I loved talking to her about her life and hearing all of her stories.  I'm so proud to be her granddaughter. I love her so much and I am thankful for our time together. 

I was (am) my grandmothers first grandchild.  I will always remember as a kid how excited I (and my siblings) were when grandma & grandpa would drive (or fly when we lived in Germany) to visit the family or when we would visit her in Texas, how excited us kids would get when we pulled up to the Crestwood Circle house. She was a remarkable woman, a great mother to my Dad, my Aunt and Uncle and an even better grandmother to me, my siblings, and all of my cousins. She was also a wonderful great-grandmother. I will always cherish the memories we had over all the years and will miss her personality and that laugh that would turn any frown upside down.

Who was fabulous and 95?  Aunt Eleanor was fabulous at any age. The sassiest of her sisters, she was like a mother to me. I loved her dearly. When mom was sick and dying, she was right by my side helping me through the heartbreak even when her own heart was breaking. And when Andy and I took a trip to Dallas, she and Uncle Manny treated us to the most fun vacation. She always had the biggest smile and the love she had for you showed on her face. A birthday never passed without a card from her.  The best decision I made was going to see her for her 95th birthday. It was our last visit together and I think it made us both happy. I’ll miss you dear Aunt Eleanor. I’m sure you are making them laugh up there in Heaven. ❤️
Love from Roberta and Andy

Eleanor was a beautiful lady, she and became close friends when she and Manny came to a neighborhood group in the early eighties. She was so friendly, kind and gentle! there will never another like her, and we will miss her so! May u Rest In Peace in the hands of the lord! 

I miss you grandma  and I miss being able to sit and talk with you and watch our favorite shows, and all the fun family events. You were a wonderful kind loving person may you rest in peace.

My grandmother, Eleanor, was an exquisite woman. So kind and caring. She loved her husband, her children, her grandchildren, great grandchildren and all family all around her. Every visit with her (and grandpa) meant the world to me (and later in life, that included my husband Matt and daughter Chloe). I have so many memories I don't even know where to start. This is a great loss for everyone. There are no words. We miss her so much and think about her everyday.

Aunt El was truly a wonderful Aunt in every sense of the word. When I would get on the phone with her and we would catch up; her laughter at something I would say was so endearing. She was a caring supportive Aunt to me, and my two daughter's Jacqueline and Jessica. She treated them like her own grandchildren. We have many of her recipes and Jacqueline put a few in her cookbook she made for our family, especially Aunt Eleanor's  Chicken Ishkabibble which is a favorite! She had a great sense of humor and one of the funniest comments she made was when Jessica and I were at Uncle Manny's 90th birthday party at Carl's summer home.  I asked her when she met Uncle Manny before or after the war, and she told us when they met and continued with "That Was the Luckiest Day of His Life!" We all roared! 
My most sentimental memory was when Aunt El and Uncle Manny came to my wedding, and stayed with my Mom who was terminally ill so that I could go on my honeymoon! That was truly selfless and what family love is all about...
Aunt El you will be sorely missed, God Bless and Keep you...
MaryAnn DiGiovanni & daughter's Jacqueline & Jessica

I first met Eleanor in September 2012, she and Manny were so welcoming and sweet.  Eleanor showed us all of the pictures from her and her siblings  growing up. Then ones of John, Carl, and Marian......... which now remembering back to all those great memories and seeing where their family came from was wonderful. Now, with my daughter Mackenzie (Eleanor's great granddaughter) I can see the resemblance. The big cheerful smile that you can't help to smile at. 
Then a few years back Eleanor and Mackenzie got to meet,  it was beautiful to see the two of them interact. They adored each other instantly. 
Eleanor is my greatest pleasure to have known you.

On behalf of everyone at VNA Ann's Haven Hospice, it was and honor to be of service to Eleanor and your family.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
