On September 27, 1949, Eleanor married Joseph “Punk” Haselhoff at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Storm Lake. Subsequently, they were blessed with four children: Marcella, John, Ed, and Alice.

A member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Schaller, Eleanor served on the Altar Society.

In her spare time, Eleanor enjoyed crocheting and reading. Most of all, however, she loved spending time with her family and will be remembered as a loving and caring mother, grandmother, and friend to many.
