We wish to express our sympathies to Elinor’s family. We were freinds through the Mountaineers and Skandia Folkdance Club. Elinor was always such an upbeat and happy person, a pleasure to know and to meet at any time. Her presence was a very positive thing in our lives.

Elinor worked on my cooking team for the Community Supper at Calvary Lutheran in Federal Way. It was always such a joy to have her join us each time. She had a smile and joyful demeanor that lit up the room and lightened our hearts when she arrived. I will miss her–we will all miss her!
