Eleanor R. Jenkins, 93, passed away on Dec. 14, 2020, at The Residence at Hilltop, which happened to coincide with her late husband’s birthday. The daughter of Assunta Gianni and Valentino Roncace, Eleanor was born Feb. 1, 1927, in Grove City, Pa. She was the youngest of 11 children. Eleanor was well known as a talented seamstress and wonderful cook, known in the Mon Valley as a fashionable dresser with a fine sense of humor. Eleanor is survived by her daughters, Cheryl (Gary) Lewis and Janice (Tom) Thalman; sister, Helen Pulgino; two grandsons, Zachary (Ana Marie) Lewis and Seth Salyers; three great-grandchildren, Eleanor and Lucille Lewis and Henry Adams; and her longterm companion, Charles Mihealsick. In addition to her parents and siblings, Eleanor was preceded in death by her husband, Floyd “Toby” Jenkins.

“From this wonderful place called heaven.

Where all my pain is gone,

I send a gentle breeze to whisper,

My loved ones, please go on.”
