October 28, 1934 — August 10, 2018
Eleanor J. Barber, beloved mother and grandmother, passed away from complications of dementia on August 10, 2018 in Logan, Utah. Eleanor was born on October 28, 1934 in Norcross, Minnesota to Leland Kelly and Margaret Haugen. She had three sisters, Helen, Clarice and Marge and three brothers, Leland (Sonny), Jerry and Tom.

Mom was devoted to her children and worked diligently to provide for, support and serve them in whatever capacity she was able. She loved to dance and play cards and her senior years were spent serving her family and playing cards with family and her friends at the senior center. She was known throughout the neighborhood for her work ethic and a weed was never safe in her presence. She was a faithful member of the Lutheran Church and attended regularly until she was unable to attend due to her illness. She was the best Mom and Grandmother in the whole and her family was blessed to have her in their lives.
Mom is survived by her three children Bob (Rachele) Bohnet, Benicia, California, Elizabeth (Byron) Pugh, Wellsville, Utah, and John (Jill) Bohnet, Benicia, California, 10 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, one brother, Jerry (Fern) Haugen, and one sister, Marge (Jim) Hale.
Mom was preceded in death by her husband, Bill, her father, mother, two brothers, two sisters. Mom will be remembered for her tenacity and ability to provide for her children despite many trials and struggles. Despite working multiple jobs, she always attended her sons sporting events and was their greatest fan.
