Oh Kathleen! I first met Elinor when she was a poll worker and we had a blast signing voters out! She had just moved to Lincoln at the time and I think I might have been her first friend in town! I have found memories of conversations with your mum and her even coming to pick blueberries at my

I was deeply sorry to hear your news, Kathleen. My entire family loved your mother, including our golden retriever, Maisie. Your mother used to write Maisie the most charming letters, and I tried to answer them with equal humor and charm (I failed, I’m sure). Your mother was an inspiration to

We all knew her, even if we didn’t know her name. The wonderful soul who pushed her red walker along the hilly sidewalks of Lincoln. Resting occasionally, always turning down offers of help or a ride with a smile. This was a person in love with life, a fixture of our town, and we shall miss

Thank you Kathleen. A beautiful tribute. It truly captures the reminder your mother provided me each time I saw her walking north or south along Lincoln Road - just keep moving, have a goal each day and don't let my age tell me what I can and cannot do. She was an inspiration to all who saw

Thank you Kathleen for this beautiful remembrance of your dear Mom! Our dogs and children always delighted in your mom and her beautiful smile and exuberance and kindness- and like many of our neighbors we saw her many many days of the week- she was part of our daily conversations and chats.

In the beginning she walked easily. Four miles a day, seven days a week, no matter the weather. Eager to meet you, wanting to hear your story, ready to tell a story, hoping your dog be friendly. Thanks, nice dogs large and small, for warm fur and wet kisses. Thanks, Lincoln Garden Club for
