Eleanor Ullery, a beloved mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on May 16, 2025, in her hometown of South Bend, Indiana. She was 84 years old. Eleanor was born on April 18, 1941, in South Bend, where she spent her entire life surrounded by family and friends who cherished her dearly.

Her nurturing spirit extended far beyond her own family, as she touched the lives of many young people during that time.
Eleanor had a profound appreciation for the beauty of nature. She found joy in sunflowers and waterfalls, and admired the charm of both covered bridges and old barns. These interests reflected her love for the simple things in life and her ability to find peace and beauty in the world around her.
Eleanor Ullery will be remembered not only for her many contributions to her family and community but also for her unwavering kindness and gentle spirit. She leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and strength, and she will be dearly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
