They lost their son, Jerome, to cancer in 2008 and their granddaughter, Tracy in 2016. She is survived by her daughter Barbara (Kaspar) Peter, her grandson Matthew Peter and many nieces and nephews.
Eleanor had a full life working as a hosiery representative for Givenchy visiting all the major department stores in Madison and Milwaukee.
