Eleanor Hamor
March 31, 1930 — April 3, 2016
Funeral services for Eleanor L. Hamor will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, April 8, 2016 at Grace Lutheran Church, Albert Lea. The Reverend Janet White will officiate. Visitation will be held from 5 – 7 PM on Thursday at Bonnerup Funeral Service, Albert Lea, as well as one hour prior to the service at church. Interment will take place at Hillcrest Cemetery.
Eleanor passed away surrounded by her children on Sunday, April 3, 2016 at Thorne Crest Senior Living Community. She was 86 years old.
Eleanor L. (Cady) was born on March 31, 1930 to Earl and Edna (Dietz) Cady. She grew up in Owatonna. On October 20, 1946, she was united in marriage to Gordon Peters in Medford, MN. To this union, three children were born. The couple later divorced. Eleanor later married Jerald Hamor on June 22, 1990.
Eleanor worked many jobs throughout her life, but her favorites were babysitting and housecleaning for families in the area. She and her family moved frequently, but lived in Owatonna and Denison, MN for the longest times. In 2005, she moved to Albert Lea and has lived here ever since.
She is a member of Grace Lutheran Church. She also was a member of the Legion Auxiliary Post 506, Moose Lodge 1364, and the Eagles Club 2258. In her free time, Eleanor enjoyed to sing and dance. She enjoyed gardening, and camping – going all over the US. She loved visits from her grandchildren, who called her "Traveling Grandma" and later "Honey Grandma," because her cookie and candy jars were always full! If you left her house hungry, that was your own fault, because there were always goodies available. Her animal friends made her happy, having many pets throughout her lifetime. She can be described as a sweet, caring lady who always helped others. She always had her door open to friends and family.
She is preceded in death by parents, Earl and Edna; step father, George Fisher; husbands, Gordon Peters and Jerald Hamor; son-in-law, Jake Juaire; and a sister, Gloria (Frank) Hunt.
Those left to carry on her legacy include her children, Sharon Juaire of Owatonna, Betty Lou (Richard) Anderson of Albert Lea, and Michael (Merla) Peters of Long Prairie, MN; loving grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren and step-grandchildren; as well as many other loving relatives and friends.
Blessed be her memory!
