Eleanor Knox was born in Vancouver on Nov. 16, 1925 and passed away at 94 years old on May 14, 2020. In 1950, Eleanor married Bill, the love of her life, and they had a wonderful 65 years together until his
passing in 2015. Together, they raised three children: Douglas (Tricia), Peggy (Richard) and Gordon (Shannon). Eleanor will also be sorely missed by her grandchildren Jules, Geoffrey (Jessica), Gillian,
James, Katie, Miranda, Sonja, Keara and Cameron, and her great-grandchild Maya.
Eleanor and Bill loved telling the story of how they met (it was at work, and he offered to help her carry her company Christmas turkey home). The house that she and Bill built was a place filled with laughter, with an open door policy, where her children and grandchildren would frequently come and go. But most importantly, Eleanor’s family will always cherish memories of summers spent together up at the cottage at Roberts Creek. She was still swimming in the ocean well into her 90s. A celebration of life will be held at a
later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Cancer Foundation or the Vancouver General Hospital Foundation.
