Eleanor was a 1943 graduate of West Chester State College with a degree in teaching. She was a homemaker most of her life but taught 1st grade at West Goshen Elementary School from 1948-1962. She never stopped being a teacher and enjoyed teaching the children she was around all of her life.

Preceding her in death in addition to her husbands is a daughter, Bernice Finkey; 3 brothers and 1 sister, Henry, Harvey, and Robert Worthington, and Anna Highley.
Her grandson Ben summed up her life well, with this, “of course Grammy had her ailments, but looking back at her life, I think it’s fair to say she won. And now she’s home. And now she rests”
Due to Covid-19 a private service will be held at the convenience of the family. Interment will be in the Evangelical United Methodist Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Summer Arts Association, PO Box 532, New Holland, PA 17557, or to Fairmount Homes Sharing Fund, 333 Wheat Ridge Dr., Ephrata, PA 17522.
