Eleanor Lawhorn
November 3, 1935 - November 22, 2020
On November 22, 2020, Heaven welcomed Eleanor Lawhorn, caring mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
Eleanor was born on November 3, 1935 in Breckenridge, Texas to Walter and Emma Mae Jetton. She grew up in Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada and later relocated to Long Beach, California, where she raised four children, two sons, Richard and Robert, and two daughters, Peggy and Catherine. In 2000, she relocated to San Diego where she reconnected with and married her high school sweetheart, Farrell.
Eleanor’s greatest joy was her family. Raising her children as a single mom, Eleanor worked two to three jobs at a time to ensure that her kids did not go without. She had a passion for extracurricular activities and was an active parent in Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Little League Baseball, and Pop Warner football. She was generous with her time and had a heart for volunteering. She admired all things fashion, collected antiques, adored the color pink, and loved her dog Phoebe. She will be missed by many.
Eleanor is survived by her four children, Richard, Robert, Peggy, and Catherine and her multitude of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, November 20th, 2021 at Westminster Presbyterian Church at 11 o’clock a.m. In Lieu of flowers, the family requests you put a little extra in the offering plate.
