Eleanor N. Kearney
1927-2022
It is with sadness but also with joy in our hearts that the Lord has
taken our Aunt Eleanor at the age of 95, to be with her loved ones in
Heaven. She passed away at the Riverview Manor in Bath on August 4th,
2022. She was born Eleanor Nina Maskell on May 4th, 1927.
She has lived in Beechwood for most of her life. She loved telling
stories of her youth with her mother and her brothers whom she loved
dearly. Even in her later years she would tell stories of her young
years living beside Maskell Brook. She said that like most people of
those days , they never had a lot to eat, regularly stepped onto a
cold floor on the winter mornings but nobody seemed to ever complain.
When she finished high school in Bath , she taught school for a little
while up in the Kilburn area. She even got a job in Deer Island
cleaning fish with her sister in Laws.
She fell in love and married Frank Kearney on April 19,1947. Their
only daughter, Terri was born on Jan 15th, 1953. Anybody that ever met
Terri will know what we mean when we say that She and her mother were
a very special team . Terri never married and she and Eleanor lived
together in the family home until Terri’s passing. Frank and
Eleanor built a home in Beechwood up beside Franks brother, Holland
in 1961. That is where Eleanor lived until she went to the manor in
September of 2021.
Her mother , Gussie , moved in with them shortly after and that became
the meeting place for all her brothers and uncles and aunts and
cousins over the years. Everyone was welcome and everyone was fed
very well.
Eleanor is survived by her sister in law, Edith Hillman of Woodstock,
ON as well and many nieces and nephews that loved her dearly.
Eleanor was predeceased by her parents, Samuel and Gussie (Broad)
Maskell, her husband Frank , her daughter Terri, and her brothers
Howard, Percy, Ted and her youngest brother Charles.
There will be a funeral service at the Beechwood Baptist Church on
Sunday, August 7, 2022 at 1:00 pm. Rev. Dan Ryan will officiate. The
funeral service will be livestreamed on the Beecwood Baptist Church
FaceBook Page. The internment service will be held in the Wharton
Cemetery, Upper Kent. For those who wish donations made to the
Beechwood Baptist Church or the Wharton Cemetery would be appreciated.
