Eleanor Frances Lynch, of Attica, passed away peacefully on December 22, 2019 in Batavia.. She was born on August 25th, 1934 in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn, New York. Orphaned at birth, she was raised by her Grandparents, Samuel and Mary Calhoun. Eleanor was preceded in death by her husband (Thomas Lynch), her daughter in law (Bernadette), and her Grandson (Michael).
Eleanor graduated from St. Brendan’s High School where she played Basketball and was inducted into the National Honor Society. She met the love of her life, Tom, and they were married on her Birthday in 1956. After subsequent moves to Ohio, New York and New Jersey, Eleanor and Tom chose the house on Attica Gulf Road as their “forever home”. Eleanor was heavily involved in CCD, Catholic Daughters and Pro-Life activities as a long term parishioner at St. Vincent’s Parish. She had a special place in heart for all living things. Her time and financial resources were directed towards animals, the poor and the preborn.
Eleanor is survived by her son and daughter (Thomas and Mary) of Attica, and Son and Grandson, Patrick and Brendan of West Irondequoit. We will miss her terribly but believe she is celebrating a Christmas reunion in heaven.
Special thanks to the loving hands at both Eastside Nursing Home and United Memorial Hospital.
