Eleanor was a wonderful conversationalist whose most important things in life were family and friends. Throughout her and Bud's lives, wherever they lived and wherever they went, they made friends.  In every place they lived, Eleanor created a community - Elmira, Big Flats, Spanish Lakes, The Woodlands, Sonata. She was famous for her rummage sale skills. She included family and friends in all her plans. Until she retired at the age of 83, Eleanor spent much of her life bringing music to the churches she served and to hundreds of piano and organ students, many of whom went on to have successful careers in music. Throughout her life Eleanor was active in local music organizations. Eleanor and Bud were blessed to have wonderful neighbors and friends who enabled them to live independently in their Vero Beach home until December of 2019.

A memorial service will be held at noon, Friday, April 23, 2021 at the Community Church in Vero Beach. The service will be live streamed.
