(Sherry) of McKeesport. She also leaves behind her five grandchildren Amy (Henry) Callithen, Jeramie (Mandy), Jacqueline Petrus-Powell (Robert), Michael, and Steven.

She also was especially proud to have served as Christian Mother’s President for two terms at the then Saint Mary Częstochowa Church now Corpus Christi Parish of McKeesport.

Among her other interests was serving as President to the local T.O.P.S. Club of McKeesport in the 60’s and 70’s. Many will remember her for her hand made “signature” needlepoint color coordinated purses she always carried as well as her baking skills.

Over the years Eleanor ’s interests included anniversary trips to dine at the Skylon Tower Restaurant with Stan at Niagara Falls, Canada; as well as their many trips to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and The Gettysburg Battlefield in Pennsylvania.
