Eleanor H. Zack

Mrs. Eleanor H. Zack, 81, of Saint Cloud., FL, passed away on Sunday, October 6th, 2013 at her residence. Eleanor was born in New York City, New York on June 28, 1932, to Ruben and Catherine Ashley. She was a loving mother, wife, and grandmother, lived a long and fulfilling life surrounded by friends and family. Loved by all, forgotten by none, Eleanor left her mark in the hearts of everyone she met. She gave the world to help anyone in need, especially her beloved family. She was an angel of God, sent down from heaven to touch the hearts of everyone she met. God has now decided that she fulfilled her purpose through the love she spread to everyone, and has taken her back to be with Him. She surely will fly among the angels, watching over us all, just as she has always done. She will be missed dearly, but will remain in all the hearts she has touched during her long and meaningful life. Let us celebrate her life, rather than mourn her death, as she would surely have wanted. Her face was always radiant with a smile, gleaming and spreading her happiness and love to others. Let us take this as an example and honor her by taking after her example and spreading this joy to the world. Eleanor is survived by her brother, Robert, lifetime partner, Joe, whom she shared 58 extraordinary years, her loving children: Kevin, Joe, Bill, and Marianne, and her beloved grandchildren: Christina, Zack, Ashley, Catherine and Shelly, as well as her great-grandchildren: Zoey, Hannah, and Joshua, whom she cherished with all her heart. Born June 28, 1932 and deceased October 6, 2013, she lived over 81 years filled with the happiest of memories, shared with friends and family alike. Though she is no longer with us on this earth, she will continue to watch over us in heaven and live on in the hearts of her loved ones. Survivors include her beloved husband, Joseph J. Zack; her daughter, Marrianne (Timothy) Linder of St. Cloud, FL; her three sons: Kevin (Brenda) Zack of Tallahassee, FL, Joe Zack of St. Cloud, FL & Bill (Linda) Zack of Debary, FL. and her brother, Robert (Rabab) Ashley of Los Angeles, CA.
