Eleanor Kay George Chadwick passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 18 after a valiant and long struggle with diabetes and cancer. She was 65. Her tenaciousness, endurance, and strong will to survive have been painful to watch yet a privilege to aid and witness.

One constant, radiating from Eleanor’s true spiritual essence, was the genuine compassion she had for others.

She will be greatly missed.
