Eleanor Louise Hansen

Kent & family.... I just learned tonight of Eleanor's passing. Feeling so sad for you loss of a wife, mother and grandma.....but what a beautiful time for Eleanor to finally be free of pain and be with Jesus. Eleanor was one of a kind and I will never forget the lady she was. Such a keen eye for decor and fashion and always great advice. She loved her family....she loved everyone around and showed us all how much she loved God. She sure will be missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Her spirit lives on with all the amazing memories in our hearts xoxox

Dear Kent, We were so sorry to hear of Eleanor's passing. She was a lovely lady. We will always remember her delicious fruit cake that she gave us at Christmas time and also her many trips to Your Candle Shop where she purchased her napkins and candles and accessories for her beautiful dinner parties. I know Kent that you are going to miss your Eleanor but you will have no regrets as you took such good care of her. Sending our sympathy with love. Kaye and Charlie

Kent, I am so sorry to hear of Eleanor's passing, I know how much you loved each other. You were such a beautiful couple and I have always considered myself blessed to have known you. Sending my love and prayers your way.

Dear Kent, So sorry to hear about the passing of your dear wife. She was such a remarkable Lady in all ways. I remember her gracious and generous spirit. She always had a smile upon her face even if she was in pain or discomfort. I missed you both when you moved back to Ontario but I knew that her heart was to be with her children. May God's peace be with you at this difficult time. I know that she is rejoicing with her Savior and singing in the choir. Love and prayers Harry and Beverley.

to Ken and the DeHartog family we wish to extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Hilde Noble and family.

Dear Kent and Family, We were privileged to have Eleanor in our lives during your years at Kings Way Assembly. For a season, Eleanor hosted our weekly Ladies Bible Study. The women always enjoyed sitting in Eleanor's beautiful home as she served coffee and a different delectable each week....never a repeat. She baked two of our children's wedding cakes and they not only looked gorgeous but they tasted delicious. Each Christmas season Kent would appear at our door with a gift and one of Eleanor's amazing Fruit Cakes. We will always remember the year that our church hosted the Fall Pastor's Conference and Kent and Eleanor prepared and served all the meals. Eleanor's hand decorated Fall leave cookies impressed everyone and our colleague's still talk about the food at that conference. You made your pastor proud! Eleanor was a friend and cared about the concerns of others. I knew that I could count on her prayers. We are saddened because Eleanor is no longer with us but we rejoice in the fact that she is home free and more alive than ever. We look forward to a reunion in heaven someday. Our prayers are with all of you today. Love, Pastor Doug and Marie

Ann and I were sorry to learn of Eleanor's passing. She was a great, whimsical counter balance to you and all those around who focused on the serious and not so fun issues of science, finance and business. I remember well my first social meeting at an Eleanor invited dinner at the house on the hill in Quispamsis. I loaded a plate full of tomato sauced items and then was guided into the "white" room - brilliant white and flawless "everything" - I sat in panic on the gloss white, scratchless piano bench - for a few moments - then I quickly retired to the safety of the kitchen with Eleanor. I recall your concern when Eleanor wanted an open concept with structural wall removal in the house on Gibbons Road. It did get done and the house still stands. It was apparent that what she wanted to get done, got done. If all who knew her just does one whimsical thing, does one friendly act, she will have gotten it done! Maurice and Ann

Kent and family...We were saddened to hear of Eleanor's passing! When we think of her we remember her wonderful entertaining and those Sunday-after-church-lunches out. We loved hearing her great stories! She was always gracious, even to guests like us, who showed up once, unannounced, when she was in the middle of ... (there, Eleanor I didn't give away your beauty secret!) I still have the two Wedgewood dishes she gave me because she knew I liked blue and cherish memories of Eleanor baking a special cake for our long awaited baby shower. This world will never be the same for those who knew her and heaven will be brighter because she is there. And I think, like Amelia, I will have to finally break down and paint my oak china cabinet a nice gloss white in honour of Eleanor! God bless you all!

Dear Kent, Trevor and all family, We are very sadden to learn of the passing of Eleanor. She remains a very special woman. Our lives have been blessed to have had the privilege to know her. May her legacy of love for 'one another' live strong in her family and friends. Bill & Lucy

Kent.... We were saddened to hear of Eleanor's passing. She was a great friend and neighbour to us in K-park. When I broke my ankle in 1995, she came every morning , made coffee, and cheered me up. She was always full of energy despite her physical problems. She will be greatly missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Kent my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Eleanor was a remarkable lady and during the brief time I was privileged to know her, I was touched by her strength and the dedicated, unwavering love the two of you shared. I will forever remember her striking red hair and her love of music. God Bless.

Dear Kent & All Family. We were sadden to hear of Eleanor's passing. To say the least Eleanor was a very unique Lady and one of great style; decorating ability and fabulous Chef and Hostess. We well remember how you both help make Anthony's Graduation (and that was not yesterday) a memorable occasion as you had him and his date come to your home in K Park and took photos by the White Baby Grand Piano. Yes, and only Eleanor would take a Mahogany Hammond Organ and paint it white !!!! We were once in the midst of trying to renovate our main Washroom when Eleanor dropped in to visit and in no time flat she took it on and made what we had in mind happen. So many wonderful meals at your home(s). One where one of the Guests turned the Black Pepper Grinder and the whole bottom came out. Both of you were so kind, and generous, to so many Friends. We have missed our times together. Even though Eleanor had her health issues she never complained but kept on trucking. She was a fighter and had a stellar character. She is now out of pain and at peace. The closing remarks in her Obituary encouraging all what to do described exactly who and what Eleanor was. Loved life; loved Family; loved Friends; loved to give. She has left a great legacy. We extend to you our heartfelt support; love and prayers at this difficult time. Please keep in touch. You have MANY Friends back here at "home". Blessings. In His Grip, Norman, Barbara & Anthony

Dear Kent and Family, We were saddened to hear of the passing of Eleanor. I will always have fond memories of her; coffee morning which would last well into the afternoon, redecorating my house constantly, birthday cakes every year for each of my children, and just a good friend to have. I have a piece of mahogany furniture which i am planning on painting white in memory of my dear friend. I know she would love it.

Dear Kent, we were saddened to learn of Eleanor's passing. Having had you and Eleanor as part of the Kings Way church family, there are deep and lasting influences you each had on us as individuals, and as a whole. Eleanor's zest for life and numerous talents amazed those around her, but the quiet, unheralded assistance to many that was accomplished behind the scenes showed a deep compassion and love for others. Praying for comfort and strength during this time. May you feel Gods' strong arms lifting you above the sorrow, and allowing you to rejoice in the love she gave you, and the knowledge of the freedom she now enjoys, physically,emotionally and spiritually, as she revels with zest for heaven.

Dear Kent, Mike & I would like to send our condolences to you and your family. Eleanor was such a lovely lady who opened her heart to everyone. The last paragraph of her obit touched my heart. That was Eleanor to a tee! Loving her Savior, family & friends. We do not mourn like those without hope. We know we will see her again, in perfect health. Love Mike & Melody Mullen

Dear Kent, Al and I send to you and your family our sincere condolences in the passing of Eleanor. She was such a lady! And every description of her in the obituary is so true. I still cherish a lovely glass blue bowl she insisted on giving me just because I admired it! We will always be thankful for the beautiful cake she made and decorated for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Imagine, who knew you could buy silver balls that were edible! Our fondest memories are of her deep love for the Lord and her encouragement to others to keep pressing on. We were blessed at Kings Way Care Centre to have her initiate our Day Centre program, which is still going strong. I still have a lovely picture of her there holding hands with Aerona. May God be your strength and your comfort in these days, and may you be able to rejoice in the midst of your sadness that she is no longer in pain, but is dancing around the throne with her wonderful Lord! Love, Brenda & Al

Dear Kent, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Eleanor loved you dearly and often commented on your sacrificial love for her. You were a very special couple, who always gave of yourselves for others. Eleanor was very talented in many areas, especially entertaining. There was nothing she could not do when she made up her mind to do it and she did everything perfectly. I pray that God will surround you with His love, His comfort , His peace and His strength during this time of sorrow. With deepest sympathy, Phyllis Currie

Kent, Les & I send our condolences. We will always remember Eleanor for her generous hospitality, the wonderful meals she prepared for her many friends and her unique decorating skills, just to name a few of her many talents. She was a lovely lady and will be missed by her family and many friends..May God be your strength through this difficult time....Blessings
