Grandma T was an amazing woman... strong, loving, friendly and caring. I remember many holidays and special moments with Grandma. Christmas Day was always a great time when her and Grandpa Wally would have everyone over for a great Christmas Dinner and being surrounded by family and friends. Christmas Dinner was ham, lasagna, seven-layer salad, 3-layer jello (red, white and green for Christmas colors), and lots of yummy apppetizers. I think the crab and seafood dip was the most popular one that would be gone in a flash! And of course, let's not forget those yummy kolackies and all her other yummy home made treats!

Grandma T - you will always hold a special place in my heart. You always will be a special and terrific grandmother and will truly be missed.

I love you and miss you.

Much Love Always,
Debby

"grandma eleanor" was a big part of my life for 30 years. she was "my" grandma when she married (walter trzeciak) my grandpa back in 1975.
i was 6 years old and remember it well.
even though she was not my "blood" relative we shared numerous holidays,b-days,vacations,ect throughout those years.
she always cared for walter trzeciak and i will always cherish that kindness heart she had for such.
i was unaware of her sikness/location, and regret the communication of such.
rest in peace grandma,
all our love
