Eleanor was a devout Catholic and was a member of Our Lady Queen of Peace Church in East Vandergrift, recently attending St. Marys Church in Berea, Ohio.

She was a great cornhole player, enjoying the game immensely with her family. She also was an excellent craftsperson and gifted cook and baker, always making delicious meals and desserts. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her sisters, Rosalie Spinelli, Victoria Barichello, Amelia Zanotti, and Mary Zelenok, one sister and two brothers who died in infancy, and several nieces and nephews.
