Mother: Stella Marie "Estella" Strode Edelen Benson Funke Haugen (1915-1984)
Step-Father: August "Oscar" Funke (1908-1989)
Son: Michael Flink (1952-2006)
2nd Husband: Lee Frey
When Eleanor June Edelen was born on October 31, 1933, in Vancouver, Washington, her presumed father, Joseph Edelen, was 23, and her mother, Stella Strode, was 18. Eleanor was also 18 years old when she first married, to Norman Flink on March 20, 1952, in Stevenson, Skamania, Washington. They had one child during their marriage and were divorced in 1956. Her second marriage was short, due to her death, and could be why it is said "she was buried in her wedding gown"... or - maybe she really was. She died as a young mother on May 29, 1962, in a car accident, in Monterey, California, at the age of 28.
