We Mourn the Passing of Elinore Winward Hanrahan
Dear Thetas:
Many of you will remember our sister Elinore Winward Hanrahan from the years we shared at New Paltz and more recently at our annual Theta reunions. Ellie was my roommate when we taught in Westchester, and was a bridesmaid in my wedding. We kept in touch over the years sharing the good and bad times in our lives. Although distance didn't allow us more physical contact, telephone calls and letters managed for us to stay involved with each other. In October Ellie called me to see if I was going to this year's reunion, but since I was just starting to recover from a medical situation and couldn't drive, we both were looking forward to being together at the next one scheduled for October 2010.

Yesterday, after receiving a call from Ellie's niece in New Jersey, I learned that my Theta sister died on Saturday, December 5, 2009, in Florida. Elaine explained that Ellie was in good health and recently had hosted all of the children and her nieces and nephew for this year's Thanksgiving celebration. On Monday, November 30, Ellie suffered a stroke. She appeared to be getting better, but on Wednesday, December 2nd she went into a deep sleep/coma. She passed on Saturday, December 5th and is now with her sister Marge, and their parents. Ellie was cremated but at this time Elaine is not sure where they will place her ashes. If it is in the White Plains area with her parents, Elaine will let us know and perhaps we can hold a memorial for her at that time.
If our sorority or individuals wish to make a donation in Elinore's name, Elaine has suggested Hospice of Palm Beach.
5300 East Avenue
West Palm Beach, Florida 33407
If any of you have addresses of other sisters who should be notified about Ellie's passing, please share this e-mail with them.
Love and condolences to all of us.
