Kay and Eleanor retired to the Tryon area in 1987 where they became involved in the local community. They were members of the Congregational Church, the Fine Arts Center, and Eleanor’s new love – The Land O’ Sky Doll Club. For several years they opened their home on Hogback Mountain during the holidays for “Doll Tours”. Tickets were sold throughout the community and the proceeds benefited their Church. It became one of the local holiday highlights and kept them busy preparing and decorating almost year round. When Kay passed in 2006, Eleanor remained in the Tryon area.
Eleanor is survived by her son Michael and wife Vivian of Cary, NC, her son Bruce and wife Patty of Westminster, CO and son Scott of Greenville, SC as well as four grandchildren, Emily Doelling Kreitman of Charleston, SC, Chase Doelling of Denver, CO, Hillary Doelling of Kalamazoo, MI and Cameron Doelling of Phoenix, AZ and a great-granddaughter Abigale Doelling of Denver, CO. She was pre deceased by her sister Carol Barrows and is survived by her sister Helen Lou Amos of Elyria, OH.
Kay and Eleanor truly appreciated the warm embrace of the Tryon/Landrum/Columbus communities. Their friendships and community spirit was rewarding and fulfilling.
Memorials may be made to Foothills Humane Society, 989 Little Mountain Road, Columbus, NC, The ASPCA, Attention Gift Processing, PO Box 96929, Washington, DC 20077-7127, or Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, 130 Forest Glen Drive, Columbus, NC 28722.
A family celebration service will be held in the Tryon area later this spring.
