She attended Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Trinidad, and met her future husband, Sam, while at Trinidad State Junior College. She volunteered at the A. R. Museum of Western Art and worked at the Trinidad National Bank for a short time. After marrying Sam, the couple moved to Fort Polk, Louisiana, while Sam was active in the National Guard during the Berlin Crisis. Eleanor and Sam moved back to Trinidad and had their son, John, soon after. Eleanor devoted her life to care for her family. The family moved to Pueblo in 1973, where Eleanor spent most of her life. Eleanor was a homemaker, loved cooking grand traditional meals from scratch, and hosted parties big and small, for family and friends. Her life was devoted to her family and especially proud of her only two grandsons. Eleanor loved her musical family. She loved hearing them play in the Pueblo Municipal Band, Jason playing the piano at his recitals and Stephen in the Martinishot Band. Eleanor loved to travel, and had been to Hawaii, Mexico, and Canada.
A private memorial service will be held. Inurnment will follow at Imperial Memorial Gardens. Special thanks to the staff of the Chateau at Sharmar for their care during her extended stay.
