She was proud of her volunteer work at St. Mary's Hospital and was a member of the YWCA swim league. She enjoyed summers at Bayview Beach in Milford. Eleanor was a communicant of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. Most of all, she was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and dedicated each and every day to her family. Eleanor was always able to see the joy in life even during or through tough times and enjoyed each and every day to the fullest. She will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know and love her.

A private graveside service will take place in Calvary Cemetery in Waterbury when Eleanor will be laid to rest with her husband in the Queen of Angels Mausoleum . There are no calling hours. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at a future date at the convenience of the family. Casey's Eastside Memorial has been honored to care for Eleanor and her family during this difficult time.
