     Eleanor was born on March 13, 1929 in Gainesville. She was one of the 7 children of Joseph W. and Cora Lee Schad. She grew up in Gainesville where she graduated high school at St. Mary’s Catholic School in 1946. After graduation, she lived at home (until she married) and worked in the office at the Gainesville Ford dealership. After one year there, she worked in the Bookkeeping department in Gainesville National Bank for four years. After that a mutual friend introduced her to Frank Felderhoff. They dated and soon thereafter married on June 19, 1951 in St. Mary’s Church.
     Frank was a native of Muenster. He and Eleanor have lived in Muenster since their marriage. He was a veteran of WWII where he had served some 37 months in the war. After being discharged, he returned to Muenster where he worked for 41 years for Cooke County Electric. He and Eleanor were the proud parents of 2 daughters and 4 sons. After the children were older, Eleanor worked as a bookkeeper for Tuggle Motor Company for 6 years, and later at Muenster Memorial Hospital for 15 years.
     Eleanor was a member of Sacred Heart Parish, Catholic Daughters, St. Anne’s Society and the VFW Auxiliary. She enjoyed life with her family and friends immensely. She really loved partying with her family and playing cards (Hearts and/or Tripoli) with them and her friends. She was a great family lady and a friend to many. She will be greatly missed!
