Eleanor Brooks
Eleanor Louise Brooks, 87, Wichita, formerly of Augusta, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 29, 2008, sur-
rounded by her loving family.
Visitation with the family will be 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, July 2, at Downing
& Lahey Mortuary East, Wichita. Services will be 1 p.m., Thursday, July 3, at Eastminster Presbyterian Church. Interment to follow at Wichita Park Cemetery.
Eleanor, known as “Ellie” to her many friends was born to Edward Winfield Frey and Clara Golden Cannefax on Jan. 6,1921 in Scammon, Kans. She graduated from Valley Center High School and attended Business Preparatory School at Wichita University. On March 28, 1942, Ellie married Eugene A. “Gene” Brooks with whom she shared 61 wonderful years and raised two sons.
Ellie was a devoted mother and wife, a superb homemaker, a volunteer to many organizations including
the Ladies Board of HCA Wesley Medical Center, various ladies groups at Eastminster Church, the Wichita Boys Civic Choir, and a member in good standing of the Wichita PEO Chapter I. Her life revolved around her family, her friends and her love of playing cards, especially bridge.
She especially loved spending time with her four grandsons and snapping photo’s to share with all her friends. In August 2001, Ellie realized one of her life’s desires when twin great-granddaughters entered the family. We will miss our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother as she took such good care of all of us. She taught us so many things about life, love and the importance of family. We now take joy in knowing she is finally reunited with Gene in heaven.
Survivors: sons, Dr. Randy Brooks of Overland Park and Dr. Scott and wife, Vicki Brooks of Wichita; grandsons, Tyler and wife, Lisa Brooks of Wichita, Zachary Brooks of Overland Park, Aaron and wife, Molly Brooks of Los Angeles, Calif., and Douglas Brooks of Overland Park; twin great-
granddaughters, Libby and Lauren Brooks of Wichita; sister, Eileen and husband, Charles Cody of Ardmore, Okla.; several nieces, nephews and friends.
Preceding her in death: parents, Edward and Clara Frey; brothers, Howard “Bud”, Stuart and Edward II, sister, Clara-bell “CB” and her husband, Eugene A. “Gene” Brooks.
