Our wonderful, lovely Aunt Eleanor or Peanuts, as Tom called her, (and he loved that she was one of the few who called him Tommy) now alive and well forever! We are going to miss that beautiful smile and her kind eyes! We will always remember all the fun, laughter, jokes and her “Love & God bless you” at the end of every visit, regretfully too few and far between. We love you Aunt El and know you are now with your Jesus and Uncle Adam’s arms are wide open to take you dancing into eternity!

Eleanor was a special woman to me. I always loved being in her presence as she was such a strong Catholic woman of faith model for me. Eleanor always had a smile on her face; now all her smiles for everyone will be from heaven. She will be missed. Condolences to all her family. Sharon Ann Steele
Adam,Tessey and Marty, my sincerest condolences on the passing of your mother.
She was a beloved aunt. I remember her visits well, all her visits to her sister Stella (my mother). And I especially remember how she came out to California to help in the end of life care of my grandmother Francesca (Eleanor’s mother). She was one of the gentlest, most loving and caring persons I have ever met. Chris Zupanovich
Always remember my visits with your Mom; she had the most generous heart and kindest soul!! I’ll never forget her sweet smile and warmth in her eyes! Her faith was ever strong; her belief and trust in God undeniable!! Eleanor truly cared about others; her loving and giving nature was always genuine. Compassion was a natural virtue of her character!! Eleanor inspired others in so many ways and touched so many lives! Death is not an ending but a mere transition. Love never dies and knows no distance or separation! Your mom will continue to guide and guard as one of Gods special angels from above!! With deepest sympathy, blessings and prayers to all the Hudek family! Mary Ann Reese
