For numerous decades, Elinor worked as a Registered Nurse for St. Mary’s hospital in Saginaw, Michigan. Elinor was a very devoted Catholic. In her younger years, Elinor had a passion for ice skating; she always had dreams of being a professional skater. She had a love of Polka music and dancing. For fun, she enjoyed embroidering, completing crossword puzzles, and especially shopping.
