November 22, 1925 — October 16, 2020

Eleanor Roman (Ellie), age 94, passed away October 16, 2020 with family by her side.

Ellie was born on November 22, 1925 in Somerville, MA the daughter of Harry & Ellen Woods.

Those familiar with her knew she had a sharp wit. Ellie loved socializing with people, she was a natural.  Over the years, she found a way to capitalize on this skill through caring for both children and elderly in their homes.  It brought her joy to help others whether it be by driving them to appointments, shopping or simply babysitting.  She was willing to do just about anything to help others who needed her assistance.  Ellie enjoyed bringing others together organizing little social events like coffee and donuts for her building.  These domestic adventures brought joy to Ellie and gave her a sense of purpose. She also loved gambling a few times a year just to try and beat the odds. The look on her face was priceless when she hit it big, which was far more often than one would expect.

Ellie resided at Heritage Woods Assisted Living in McHenry. Her last 3 years at Heritage Woods were filled with wonderful activities, great friends and just enjoying life. She appreciated the staff at Heritage Woods because she felt they always went the extra mile for their residents.

Ellie loved being with her family and spent as much time with them as she could.
