Poet, Cortes Island BC. Our mother passed away unexpectedly in Nanaimo Hospital on Monday June 13, with her husband Don and her grand children Cassandra and Robin by her side. Eleanor was born in Nelson BC, where she graduated high school and went on to pursue a career in writing. Eleanor survived her father, A.J. “Jack” Crowe, a professional landscaper and grounds keeper of the Blaylock estate “Lakewood” for many years. Eleanor said the saddest day in her life was the passing of her mother, Mary “Molly” Crowe, in 1957 when Eleanor was just 19 years old. However, Eleanor went on to live life to its fullest, and she left a legacy of experience and knowledge for her own children and grand children, who all loved her. Eleanor is survived by her children Ken, Michelle, Kathy, Patti, and Randy. A family memorial service will be held in July. Randy Lake - rlake.home@gmail.com.
