Eleonore Day, 89, of 850 Clay Street, Kerrville TX, met her Heavenly Father on January 23, 2024. Eleonore was comforted by her family and gently placed into the hands of God as she passed over.

The middle child of three sisters, Eleonore was born on October 26, 1934 in Kaufbeuren, Germany to Martina and Heinrich Neururer. Her formative years were spent in Kaufbeuren during World War II. In Germany, Eleonore met and married army sergeant Curley Day, Jr.; then emigrated to the United States and eventually settled in Shirley, MA. In an era of stay-at-home mothers, Eleonore overcoming a language barrier and many hardships worked at a paper factory, rope factory and other jobs to help raise their five children Curley Ray Day, III., Yvonne Day Lorick, Yvette Day Kyle, Danette Verna Day and Eric Martin Day.

Eleonore moved to Kerrville in 1977. Upon arriving to the Hill Country, she worked at JC Penney's, then Eleonore found employment at Sid Peterson Hospital and eventually provided care giving to many Kerrville residents until age 85.

A vibrant, out-going, classy woman, Mom never met a stranger and was an avid lover of dogs. Many of her pastimes included bargain hunting at local businesses and swimming at the Family Sports Center. Despite no training in interior decoration, Mom had a keen eye for home décor. Many people upon visiting her home felt as if they had stepped into an eclectic design studio. In later years, she attended church at the Kroc Center where she also spent time swimming and communing with other members.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Eleonore, parents, sisters and two grandsons. Although mom experienced many hardships and losses she will be remembered for her optimism, kindness, courage and joie de vivre. Momma will be greatly missed by her children, son-in-law, daughters-in-law, niece, grandniece, grandnephew, grandchildren, and great grandchildren who loved and adored her.

The family would like to express our thanks for the wonderful help and care given by Peterson Hospice. If desired, friends may make memorial donations to Peterson Hospice of Kerrville or plant a tree in her memory. The family requests no flowers.
