Eleanor was an accomplished quilter. Her life was like the carefully crafted blocks she

would sew into those pieces of practical functional art. Each heirloom, hand stitched with

Love. Each unique stitch a memory in the thread of a life well and fully lived. Known as "Nornee"

by some & "my Other Mother" by many, she finished her own life quilt on April 20th,2020. She

was always known to have a bag packed for a trip. Eleanor was at peace with the world, looking

forward to meeting her Maker. Her last block ….the gold & white Dove of the Holy Spirit, red

Hearts of all sizes for all of us and a robin as a sign of spring, renewal, and Hope, yes always

HOPE. Safe travels Eleanor…
