Diane and Family -- So sad to learn of your Mom's passing. She was a great lady and can imagine she and Wilma are once again chatting. Bernice was my sweet mentor at Consumers Power Co. I had no idea she was your Gran. Peace be yours. Many Blessings, Elsie ELSIE MOORE

Gerry, Just wanted you to know how sorry I am to hear of Eleanor's passing. I think of you both often and remember fondly the times I would come to clean for you through Council on Aging and the coffee and Good Bread we would share at the end of each time together. Thanks for all of your wisdom and kindness you and Eleanor shared with me. Love, Julie Dean Julie Dean

I was hired by Eleanor at the Cadillac State Bank back in 1972. I was only 19 year old and Eleanor was a real role model.....always remember how she measured our skirts to make sure they weren't too short and made sure our hair wasn't falling in our face when we waited on customers. Seemed kind of strict back then but came to realize that she was the reason our bank was looked at as very professional. Thank you Eleanor for a great start to my banking career which lasted 32 + years. We wouldn't have been the BEST Bank in town without you! You'll be remembered and missed by all our Cadillac State Bank friends. Kathy Swiger
