Eleanor Margaret Freeman returned to her heavenly home on June 17, 2022. She was born on September 17, 1933 in San Antonio, TX.

Eleanor was preceded in death by her parents, Matilda and Adolf Grohman, ten siblings, and her son Joseph Freeman. Eleanor (our "Mom," "Meam," and "G-Meam") was a joyful presence in the lives of all who loved her during her 88 years of life.

Eleanor is survived by Howard Lee Freeman, Jr., her husband of 65 years and true love. They married on June 1, 1957. She is survived by her son Thomas Freeman and wife Shannon, and daughter-in-law Linda Freeman.  Grandchildren include Sandra Freeman, Jen Freeman-Leos (Fernando), Cathy Freeman-Brouwer (Jacob), Megyn Hunt (Norman), Mandie Freeman (Chris), and Thomas Freeman, Jr. (Darlene).  Her great grandchildren are Carson, Keaton, Addi and Kyler Hunt.

Eleanor is also survived by her two sisters, Catherine Oakes and Mary Goodrich, her sister-in-laws and a brother-in-law Pat Davis and Barbara and Emil Zerr, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She will also be remembered by countless friends whose lives she touched with her relentless faith and bright spirit.

Eleanor graduated from Southwest Texas State University with her Master's in Special Education in 1975. She treasured her work with children and the elderly whom she helped in her career as a speech pathologist.  She loved to travel, exploring the beauty of the world in many adventures with Howard during their marriage. She generously shared her time and joy with people she loved, two cancer support groups she started, as well as the CDA Court at St. Matthew's. Eleanor was a long time member of Saint Matthew's Catholic Church where she was active until her final days.
