Passed away, in the presence of her children, Cindy, Jeff, and Pat, at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital on Nov. 8 following a Primary Brain Cancer (GBM Gr. IV) diagnosis in June, 2019. Eleanor was 76 years old. Always proud to call Calgary, AB her birthplace, Eleanor graduated from Crescent Heights High in June of 1960. After starting her family in 1962, having three children in under 3 years, Eleanor returned to school and earned her Associate Diploma in Nursing from Mount Royal College and received her certificate of entitlement to be known as a Registered Nurse in November 1972. Eleanor practiced nursing in Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Mississauga. In the 1980’s she refocused her energies toward the not-for-profit sector in a number of roles, including the capacity of Executive Director, until her retirement. Eleanor was predeceased by her beloved grandmother, Gram, (1992), her father (1994), her mother (2014) and is survived by her brother Don. Eleanor took extraordinary pride in her 4 eldest grandchildren Erin, Alexandra, Bailey, & Yvette enjoying biennial trips to the Land Down Under from the early 1990’s thru 2007 to visit them. She was also a doting Grandma to her youngest grandchild Mason, born in 2012, whom she adored spending lots of time with as he lived nearby in Oakville. Cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation, funeral service, or celebration of life - those were Eleanor’s wishes. The list of healthcare providers, caregivers, support workers and volunteers who were so genuinely kind, compassionate, caring and patient in helping Eleanor through her end of life journey over the past 5 months was significant!
