Obituary of Eleanor Sylvester January 17, 2025

Eleanor Marie Sylvester (Dimora)
3/20/1925 – 1/2/2025 (she so wanted to get to 100)
Eleanor passed away peacefully 1/2/2025 at Hospice Care at Highland Hospital.
Predeceased by her husband, Richard and her son, Randolph. Survived by her children Robert (Sue), Thomas (Valarie) and daughter Karen Bader (John). Cherished grandmother of Jil, Randy, Anita, Matthew, Terry and Nicole; great-grandmother of Taylor, Mackenzie, Aaron, Quinn, Zenovia, Drew and Hailey.
Ellie loved family! She spent her life looking after and taking care of others. She was happiest surrounded by family at a large table full of too much delicious food. A humble master baker, her cream puffs and apple pies were legendary. Come holiday time, you could never get enough of her sausage stuffing. The recipe was always tripled. One for the bird, one for the table and one for those who were smart enough to arrive early to the day.
And, yes, there was gentle nudging at the stove – with coats still on – to get into that extra dish of stuffing. She knew all too well how special her dishes made with love were. In her free time, she loved searching for treasures at garage sales and taking her lucky charms to bingo. Winning often, she got a lot of pleasure sneaking cash to the kids. Many times, she would quietly slip you some $20.00’s or a card with cash would show up in the mail with BINGO, BINGO, BINGO! written inside. She believed the secret of her good fortune was sharing with others.
A celebration of life is being planned for a later date. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Hospice Care at Highland Hospital for their kindness and support.
