Among Eleanor's favorite activities were photography, dance, outdoor activities, art projects, and reading. To cope with her illness, she continually looked for outlets for her active passions and was extremely pleased to acquire a recumbent tricycle that allowed her to experience the freedom of outdoor activity, which had become more and more difficult. She was a breast cancer survivor for over seven years and through illnesses tried to continue on with her life with her signature positive attitude. She never ceased researching and learning about options for her care and the enhancement of her life.
