She married Charles Weber on November 11, 1989.

Eleanor had a passion for life and was always doing for others and giving of herself. A teacher by profession, she taught and shared herself with others her entire life.

Eleanor was a devoted wife and a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
