Eleanor was a lovely, caring and compassionate lady. She always had a smile on her face and a laugh in her heart. Eleanor and Barb Sexton would come over to our house once in a while or we would go out for lunch. She would tell us about the boxes of clothing, shoes and other miscellaneous things she would ship to Poland every year. And how grateful they were to receive the boxes of things Eleanor picked out just for them. She came to our family reunion a few years back and spoke about the Levonowicz side of the family. I am going to miss her dearly, My sincerest condolences to the Janda family. Prayers to all of you.

When I think of Eleanor, a gentle smile and hearty laugh come to mind. She always opened her home and hearts to family visits when I was a young girl. My parents Anna and Al Lewandowski always enjoyed Sunday visits at their home. She and Robert were a true example of love and loyalty. May God rest her soul and bring comfort to her remaining family. Hold on to your many happy times shared together!

Eleanor was a very good friend of mine. We worked at the mobile gas station together for many years. I enjoy her smile and how she talked about her family and we used to sit in the same cubicle at church every Sunday. I am going to miss her very much her friend forever Rosa
