Eleanor is pre-deceased by her parents, Joseph & Eleanor (nee Donahue) Powell and daughter-in-law, Marianne Stellwag.

Eleanor and her husband, Andy, along with their five children, owned and operated Moorestown Gardens Corp., Moorestown and Delran, NJ, from 1985- 2011, and Stellwag’s Hidden Acres Farm, Inc., Delran, NJ, from 1998 until its sale in 2016. Andy passed away in November 2000. She loved to read, especially a good murder mystery, and followed her favorite political shows each day and night on the television and radio. Eleanor enjoyed music of all types and spent her Saturday nights watching the Lawrence Welk Show and the Gaither Family Reunion.

Family was always her top priority, and she especially loved hosting holiday celebrations and family game nights for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Frequent and daily phones calls kept her up to date on each member of the family and what was happening in their lives.

A kind and gracious lady, Eleanor always thought of others before herself. Throughout her bout with cancer, she kept her sense of humor and kind spirit. Her nurses called her stoic and a sweet little lady, and that she was.

Due to the present health concerns, the Funeral and Interment will be private. Memorial contributions may be made to Samaritan Hospice, 5 Eves Dr., Marlton, NJ 08053.
