However, spending time with family and friends at her summer home at Atwood Lake was her greatest passion and delight.
She was preceded in death also by her daughters, infant Stacie Ann, and Barbara Khorran of Tampa, FL., her sisters, Olga Carman, Shirley Givens and Carol Sue Givens.
Eleanor is survived by three daughters and son-in-law, Jean Metzger of Jackson Township, Jacquie Sfeir (late John Sfeir) of North Canton, Joyce and Robert Sanders of Centreville, VA; three sons and daughter-in-law, Arthur (Kaolene) Metzger II of Louisville, James B.
