Elenore Brosinsky
November 21, 1934 — November 1, 2024
Elenore Brosinsky, age 89, passed away on November 1, 2024 after a long and well-loved life. Originally of Stettler, AB and formerly of Estevan, Elenore was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by family and friends.
Elenore and Norman married in 1954 and moved to Estevan where they raised four daughters in a kind and loving home. A lifelong clothes designer and dressmaker, Elenore’s amazing talents were sought after by many. In 1984, Elenore realized a dream of becoming a business owner when she and Norman purchased Bastian Ladies Wear on Fifth Street. Elenore loved fashion and serving her customers and friends for nearly two decades. During that time, they purchased a second clothing store on Fourth Street and daughter, Jennifer ran the newly named, “Jenny Joans.”
Elenore and Norm’s home was the gathering point for over a half century, always making children and grandchildren feel like the most special people in the world. Elenore’s devotion to her family was deep and her loving care of Norman in his final years was admirable.
In addition to family, Elenore had several passions including bridge, golf (her last game at 88), birdwatching, gardening, music, volunteering and helping others. Scrabble was always on the table and as kids, she let us win just to keep us playing, but as we got older, all bets were off. As a creative soul, people would often come to Elenore with challenging projects, and she would come through every time.
Elenore was a source of comfort and wisdom to her family, always the voice of reason and reassurance (just don’t use her sewing scissors to cut paper). She and Norm shared a love of bird-watching and enjoyed their backyard and all the wildlife that visited. Her grapevines were of particular joy and she took pride in the abundance of fruit and making “Gramma’s Grape Jelly.”
Elenore’s people adored her and each held a special place in her heart. Elenore is survived by daughters Susan Jackson (Don), Tami Zurakowsi (Darwin), Karen Edwards (Tom), Jennifer Pettitt (Mark), grandchildren Shari Kolke, Ben Kolke, Kylie Jackson, Janel Edwards (Skylar), Sydney Edwards, Max Pettitt and great grandchildren Evelyn Kolke, Nico & Holden McGonigle.
A search for a photo for Elenore’s obituary led to the realization that we have had an abundance of fun over the years and we are grateful for so many wonderful memories with her – it’s great solace to know we had her for our very own.
A private family gathering and no funeral at Elenore’s request.
