Eleanor RIDLEY

Ridley: Eleanor 1921 - 2004 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Eleanor Ridley on July 16, 2004 at the age of 82 years. She will be dearly missed by her family. Eleanor was born in Napinka, MB on December 28, 1921. She later moved to Vancouver, BC with her family, where she worked until meeting and marrying Bert Ridley. They moved to their farm in the Morrin District, where they spent the next 34 years before retiring to Drumheller in 1986. Eleanor s enjoyment of knitting and crocheting had her making many projects for family and friends over the years. Also, she loved to work with her flower garden and house plants, but her greatest pleasure was spending time with her family and friends. Eleanor leaves to mourn her daughter Janet, granddaughter Jennifer (Jeff), sister Virgie Fennell of Winnipeg, MB, sister-in-law Mary Lee of Kamloops, BC, as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Bert in 1998, son Thomas in 1955 and brothers Lloyd, Everet and Henry Cosgrove.
