Condolences & Memories (6 entries)

• Eleanor. What a lovely lady, kind, good sense of humour and a great smile. What made Eleanor special to me was her sincere interest in your life. And her memory, she would recall stories that I had even forgotten. When my Mom passed she comforted me and said the kindest things. When we chatted on the phone she would bring me up to date on all the people we had in common. She is missed and will forever be a special Mom of Whitehead Crescent. To Myrna, Ted and all those who were touched by Eleanor's heart, my sincere condolences. - Posted by: Allison Sawyer (Brandon neighbour and friend to Myrna and Sally) on: Feb 11, 2021

• My wife is a childhood friend of Myrna's. I met Eleanor the first time a few years ago in Kelowna when Myrna and Ted brought her over for dinner when she was visiting. I had never met another senior like her. She was engaging, warm, interesting and had a sense of humor. I immediately liked her and we had such a great dinner. I think what made her special is not only was she interesting she was interested in other people which made it so easy to talk with her. Although I only had one other in person visit with Eleanor when she lived in Kelowna for a short time my wife would often give me updates on how she was doing. When she turned 100 in October we had a toast to her and celebrated her special day from a distance. My deepest condolences to Myrna and Ted and all her family. The world would be a much kinder place with more people like Eleanor in it. May she rest in peace. - Posted by: Howie Hewgill (friend) on: Feb 11, 2021

• I am very saddened to hear of Eleanor's passing. I always remember her visits to our house in Brandon. She would stop in on one of her many walks around the town. I am sure that is one of the reasons she had such a healthy long life! How nice she lived to see her 100th birthday. My condolences to you, Susan and Myrna and all your families. - Posted by: Nancy Allen (Goddaughter) on: Feb 06, 2021

• Eleanore was my friend Myrna's beloved Mother. It was a privilege to see and share the love they had for each other as Myrna would call her mother everyday at a specific time which they would look forward to. Before Covid entered our lives Myrna would travel to Winnipeg every few months to share precious time with her mom. Everyday I think of Eleanore as I make tea with her lovely tea pot she gifted me. The last time I talked with Eleanore was Dec. 6 2020 as she had a nurse call my phone to wish me a Happy Birthday, she made my day with her thoughfulness. I will miss her but she is now with her family especially her beloved Sally. With love and sadness, Susan and Oscar - Posted by: Susan Faoro (family friend) on: Feb 06, 2021
