Eleanor proudly worked at TWA for more than 40 years and travelled the world over with family and friends. After retiring from TWA, "Aunt Sis" spent many years volunteering at the Corinth Branch of the Johnson County Library, Kaleidoscope, and the Senior Barn Players and was very active in the TWA Retirees Club. She is survived by her brother and his wife, Sam and Maxine Tarson, and her two beloved nieces and their families: Rebecca and Ron Guthrie, Alison and Scott; and Susan and Michael Lally, Katherine, Michael Jr., and Meghan. Many thanks to the amazing staff at Lakeview Village and KC Hospice for their constant loving care.
