On March 3, 1946, Eleanor was united in marriage to Norman Ohmann at St. John’s Lutheran Church of Rich Valley, in Rosemount. In 1950 they moved to rural Randolph to farm and raise their family. In her early life Eleanor worked as a nurse’s aide at Bethesda hospital and at the munitions plant in Rosemount. Later she worked for Kid Duds, Princess Toys and many years at Sheldahl, from where she retired. Eleanor loved birds, gardening, embroidery, and bowling. She also enjoyed journaling about her travels south each winter – RVing with Norman, Bluegrass friends and family. She was a member of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Randolph where she had been active in the Ladies Aid and as a Sunday School Teacher.
