It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the sudden passing of Eleanor Reinhardt on Sunday, July 14, 2019 in South Shore Regional Hospital, Bridgewater. She was born on November 25, 1929, in Lower Lahave to the late Herman and Muriel (Ritcey)Himmelman.

Eleanor was a strong and independent woman with a knack for story telling. She had a flair for designing, hooking and braiding rugs and won multiple awards for her work. Eleanor often spoke fondly of her friends and family and her memories of being a school teacher in Vogler’s Cove.

Eleanor is survived by her companion John "Pat" Pentony and sister Alice Eisenhauer. Her memory lives on through her six children; Beverly (Wallace) Carver, Bridgewater, Donald (Joanne)Burgeo, NL, Alan (Rena), East Port Medway, Gary, Vogler’s Cove, Glenda (Brian Gray), West Dublin and Daniel (Rosemary), Vogler's Cove. She will be greatly missed by her eleven grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren to whom she never forgot a birth date. All these people she loved and touched deeply. She also leaves other family members and friends who will sadly miss her. She was predeceased by her husband Douglas Reinhardt; sister Jean Himmelman and brother Arthur Himmelman.

A memorial service will be held 11:00am Friday in R.A Corkum Funeral Home, Wileville. The service will be followed by a burial at Maple Hill Cemetery and a celebration of life at Vogler’s Cove Community Hall.

Immediate family flowers only. Memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Arrangements are under the direction of the R.A. Corkum Funeral Home, Wileville, where on-line condolences may be made by visiting www.corkumfuneralhome.ca
