Eloise spent her life making a wonderful home for her husband and children, and serving the Lord with her piano playing.  She spent almost all her life giving piano lessons to children and adults at little to no fee.  She was the key piano player for her church for over 70 years.  Her delight was in God, her husband and her family who loved her dearly.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to The Pacific Garden Mission, https://www.pgm.org/, which Eloise supported and was blessed by for many years.
