Green; Elinor Patricia

April 29, 2017 56 Condolences

elanorinframe

Green, Elinor Patricia, of Liverpool, Queens County, completed her business on Friday, April 28th, 2017.

Born in St John’s, Newfoundland, she was a daughter of the late Ronald and Marguerite (Parsons) Clark. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, nanny to two generations and friend. And though her life took her to Nova Scotia, Ottawa and then back to Nova Scotia, she was forever a proud Newfoundlander.

Elinor loved to be with people – her family most of all. She enjoyed early morning swims at White Point, devouring and exchanging books, crossword puzzles, road trips and a good drink at 5PM – sometimes two.

She found great joy in life even when she had reasons not to be joyful. She was kind and funny, stubborn and determined and always a lady.

She is survived by daughter, Margaret “Peggy” Green (Roger Brooks); son, Christopher Green; grandchildren, Michael Gorman (Andrea Saunders); David (Maria) Gorman; Matthew (Mallory) Gorman, great grandchildren, Oliver, Henry, Malcolm and Christopher; sister, Carol (Ernie) Trischuk.

She was predeceased by her husband, Milton; daughter Jennifer; son, Clark; sisters, Barbara, Marguerite “Peg”; brothers, Hubert, Douglas.

Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool. At Elinor’s request, there will be no visitation or funeral. No flowers by request. Donations in memory may be made to Cystic Fibrosis Canada. To share memories or condolences please visit www.chandlersfuneral.com

    Elinor was a woman of great and obvious strength of character, a person who ‘lived life’ and one who delighted all who passed her way. A life well lived. We feel enriched by having been amongst those who did ‘pass her way’.

    Chris and Peggy – So sad to hear of your Mom’s passing. Mary and I both enjoyed our early morning coffee chats with your Mother after daily White Point pool sessions. Her tremendous pride in her Newfoundland roots showed through, as did her genuine ability to make one feel so comfortable being around her. She will be missed.

    Dear Chris and family,
    Your mother was the first neighbour we met when we moved to Liverpool. She was so fiercely independent, it was an honour to be asked for help of any kind. She was a lady, but a tower of strength. We will think of her whenever her magnolia tree blooms.

    To All of the Family of Eleanor Clark
    It is with deep sadness to hear of Eleanor’s passing. There were so many good times in bygone days. I remember so many stories, one of which, when her car rolled off the road and into the bog in Corner Brook , that nearly scared her to death. Many memories with Mitt and Eleanor, in the good old days that will always be cherished. At 5 o’clock I will have a drink for her.
