The family of Eleanor A. Irish has received the following condolences.
We extend our deepest and most sincere sympathies. Eleanor was a giving and loving soul. Every living being had some value to Eleanor. Her family was first and foremost in her life. She expressed after losing Ken she would not take chemo. I feel truly blessed to have been able to have some fun play dates with Eleanor since her retirement. I loved to watch Ken and Eleanor float around the dance floor. May you all find peace and be comforted by one another. Hugsssssss!
My sympathy to the family. Eleanor was a childhood friend of mine. I send the family blessings. Eleanor and I graduated from Chosen Valley High School in Chatfield in 1965. May she rest in peace. Sincerely, Marilyn Coe

Eleanor and I worked together in the accounting department at Strongwell for years. She taught me a lot at work and was a good friend. I loved our occasional coffee times together. She always had a smile and was always willing to lend a hand. I will miss her very much. Prayers of strength to her family.
Goodbye dear friend.
