In her earlier years she loved to polka and had her favorite dancing shoes.  Her husband, Myron had his own polka band.  Eleanor was an avid newspaper reader and would cut articles and jokes out to share with other people.  Her love of collecting and reading cookbooks was also a way of sharing a favorite recipe.  Playing bingo and card games was a weekly occurrence along with her garage sale shopping.  She also had a soft spot for animals, especially cats and dogs.  She took great pride in her appearance, but wearing her numerous beaded sweatshirts was her trademark.  A devoted wife, she cared for her husband who had MS for 27 years.
