We have worked with Eleanor for the past 15 years with the N.A.R.F.E. organization. A more dedicated person to the issues of NARFE you could not find. Our sympathy is offered to the family. She will be truly missed by all of her friends in NARFE, as well as her community at St. Timothy's.

I first met your Mother four years ago at the NARFE CONK Training in South Sioux City, Nebraksa. She and I both held the Secretarial Position for the State Federation of our State.
She had many wonderful ideas and I'm sure she will be greatly missed in that job. She really loved it and we loved her.
We will miss Ellie but we know she has gone with God. What better future could we wish for.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Sincerely,
Carol R. Ek
Secretary, KS State Federation of NARFE Chapters
