Eleanore Olga Osborne

Okemos, Michigan

Eleanore (Nunie) passed away suddenly on May 13, 2013 at the age of 97. She was born June 19, 1915 in Lansing, Michigan. Eleanore was a lifelong resident of Okemos, attended Okemos High School, and had many friends. She loved to garden, loved her pets (dogs, cats, turkeys, chickens), and enjoyed nature. She loved her sister’s cooking and baking and she loved sweets. In her younger years, she loved to fish, grow flowers and vegetables, play basketball, travel with her nieces & nephew, vacation with her three brothers, her sister, and their families, and have family get-togethers. She worked hard most of her life. Throughout her career, she worked at Greens Apparel, Montgomery Wards, and Meijers Jewelry. She

always had a smile on her face, and loved to laugh. She so wanted to live to be 100, and she nearly made it.
