Eleanore D. McCarthy's Obituary
Mount Pleasant - Eleanore D. McCarthy, 84, passed away on Monday, October 28, 2019, at Bay Harbor Memory Care & Assisted Living in Mount Pleasant.
Eleanore was born to the late Bernhard and Ellen (nee: Kranzusch) Christensen on October 21, 1935, in Racine.
Eleanore worked at Ametek for over 25 years, retiring in 2006. She found fulfillment in life after retirement by working for Society’s Assets and volunteering at Racine Senior Center as well as a private caregiver for the elderly. While volunteering at Racine Senior Center, Eleanore would help guide trips to places such as Branson, MO, and Cape Cod; she loved to travel. Eleanore enjoyed going to Potawatomi, being ever so lucky at both cribbage and slots. She always loved meeting up with her “girls” for coffee. Above all, Eleanore loved spending time with her family.
Left to cherish Eleanore’s memory are her children: Debra (Bruce) Bodven, Danial McCarthy, Dawn Peterson, and Doreen (Daniel) Honore; grandchildren: Delaney (Danny), Daryl (Amanda), Dustin, Dana (Pauly), Justin (Alexis), Amanda (Dudley), and Elliot; 15 great-grandchildren; 3 great-great grandchildren; brothers: David (Sharon) Christensen and Bill (Cindy) Christensen; her girls: Ronnie, Marilyn, and Carolyn; longtime friends: Jake, Gordon, and Donna; as well as many other relatives and friends.
