Elenora was born Dec. 15, 1926 in Lovell, the sixth of eight children born to Carl John and Estella (Lynn) Doerr. She spent most of her youth in Lovell.
She married James Ball in 1946 and they later divorced. She graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Arts in education in 1963. While living in Casper, Elenora taught school and completed her Master of Arts degree from the University of Wyoming. She later moved to Colorado Springs, Colo. where she taught elementary school for 19 years in District No. 11 at Howbert School. Although she had no children of her own, she was loved by her many nieces, nephews and her students.
Upon retirement, she moved back to Lovell to be near her family and was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and in the community.
