Eleanor Vera Ross 1924-2010
Eleanor Vera Ross, age 86, passed away at the Centennial Villa, Amherst
on Monday, November 15, 2010. Born in Springhill, she was a daughter of
the late Charles and Bertha (MacKenzie) Sterling. Having lived her life
in Springhill, Eleanor was known by many on Herrett Road as "Nane". She
was well known for her love of all children both in providing a loving
home and treats for many occasions, including Halloween and Christmas.
Throughout her years of working at McLean's Frozen Foods and Oxford
Frozen Foods she made lifelong friends and memories. Eleanor will be
sadly missed by those who loved her most, Ginny Sterling Boddie (John),
Tammy Ross, Jamie Ross (Renee, Max and Nicolas), Ken Sterling (Linda,
Scott, Tracey and Ashley); siblings, Edith Holloway and George Sterling
(Hazel); her dear friend, Betty Sterling. She was predeceased by
husbands, Robert Ross and Dennis Wood and her son, Robert (Bob) Ross;
siblings, Verna, Olga and Les. By Eleanor's request there will be no
visitation or memorial service. Eleanor's remains have been cremated
under the direction of the W. Allen Funeral Home, Oxford (447-2167). In
lieu of flowers donations to the LA Animal Shelter or charity of the
donor's choice gratefully accepted.
