Her Life
Eleanor was born in Dayton, Ohio, the second of four children. She taught third grade at Lincoln Elementary for 31 years, and former students still stopped her at the grocery store to say hello. She married Robert Whitaker in 1964, and together they raised Anne, Michael and Robert Jr. She loved her garden, the church choir and Sunday dinners with whoever happened to stop by.
An Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you
in the palm of His hand.
