A labor pioneer, Elinor was one of the first four women to work in a manufacturing position at Colt just prior to and during World War II. She left the position to raise her family. When her children were older, she went back to work part time with the Travelers for 20 years. Elinor was an active volunteer through the Travelers Women's Club and volunteered with Loaves and Fishes through the First Church of Christ Congregational, West Hartford.

She was predeceased by two sisters, Pauline Magnuson, and Margaret Rau. Elinor's family wishes to thank the staff of Bloomfield Health Care and St. Francis Hospital for their loving care, and the CCCI – Seabury for enabling Elinor to remain in her home for so long.
