Eleanor was born on April 3, 1929 in Claryville, Missouri to Frances and Elvis Brewer, the youngest of 5 children. She was raised on a farm in Perry County, Missouri where she worked all the chores with her family and attended Mass every Sunday. She graduated from St. Mary’s High School in 1947 and began working at the International Shoe Corporation in Perryville, Missouri. In 1954 she moved to St. Louis, Missouri to work at Vickers Electric Company where she met her husband, William E. Pace. They married on April 7, 1956. Eleanor continued to work while raising her family and retired from Boat Levelers Company after 25 years of service. Eleanor loved to cook for her family and watch the St. Louis Cardinals while enjoying a Bud Light. She was happiest when surrounded by her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed playing Rummikub with her friends and she cherished her visits with her sister, Marie. We will miss her dearly.
