Eleanor M. Hesse Obituary
We are sad to announce that on November 6, 2024, Eleanor M. Hesse (Eau Claire, Wisconsin) passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Eleanor M. farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Eleanor M. is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her husband Donald Hesse; her brother Dr. Emil Bergendahl; and her son Peter Gahr Hesse. She is survived by: her children, Paul Hesse (Therese), Janet Westphal (Don), George Hesse (Deborah) and Sara Bergendahl (Brian Hanson); her sister Linda Williams; and her sister-in-law Betty Hesse. She is also survived by her seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer memorial be given to Lutheran World Relief; https://lwr.org or Feed My People; https://www.fmpfoodbank.org.
