Lovingly within the warm embrace of her family, Elanor was guided home five days short of her 85th birthday.
Reunited with her late husband Jim (James), her adored mother, Mary Nicholl Wallace, and her sweet brother Joe Wallace (Dee). All taken too soon.
Elanor was born in Paisley, Scotland on January 15, 1940. Immigrating to Canada in 1960 with the love of her life, James Murphy.
Beloved and amazing mother of Suzanne (Elio), Christine (Claudio) and Steven. Cherished and adoring grandma of Alyssa (Josh), Olivia (Brian), Sophie (Randy), Thomas (Tiffany), and Alexa (Kalli). Adored Aunt of Hayley Skipworth (Robert) and great aunt to Romilly of Edinburgh, Scotland. Adored Aunt of Jason Wallace (Frances) and great aunt to Daniella and Francesca of Manchester, England.
Elanor enriched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her kind heart, abundance of patience, sharp wit and wonderful ability to laugh with us, and sometimes at us, made her a friend to all. Her smile could light up a room. Her laugh was infectious and her love all consuming and constant. She was the star in our night sky, the warm embrace in times of trouble and the heart that made our family whole.
As a family we are heartbroken. Elanor is at peace now.
This is what gives us strength and comfort, knowing she is surrounded by those who have been patiently waiting for her. Welcoming her home.
