Miss Eleanor had the sweetest smile and a sassy spirit. She always lifted my spirits when I was around her. I’ve known her all my life and will miss her so much. She was a special part of the Covenant Manor family.

Aunt Eleanor was so fun to be around! I remember her and my Granny Evelyn, and Aunt Agnes (Aggie) riding around together. None of which were tall enough to see very well over the steering wheel! LOL I’m sorry for your loss, because I know she will be missed. What an awesome life she lived! She’s now with her beloved Jim’s! May God bless you all.

We will miss Ms. Eleanor and her witty smile. She was such a sweet lady. Enjoyed so much coming to Petersburg “pickin ‘n grinnin” when she was able. Would already bring a covered dish to help with the meal. She was in her 90’s then ! Our condolences goes out to her family.
