Eleanor Popow (née Connor) died peacefully on Saturday 4/18/15 at bishop McCarthy residence where she had resided for the past 4 years. She was surrounded by her nuns as they prayed for her as she took her last breath. Eleanor was predeceased by her beloved "Sweetie Pie" Frank Popow in 2000 after 53 years of marriage.
