Eleanor was born in Whitesboro, NY and was a graduate of Whitesboro NY High School. Following graduation, she ventured to Hollywood Florida with her mother Adele and later landed in Atlantic City before settling in Somers Point. She worked for the Federal Aviation Administration as a flight simulation operator. She retired so long ago no one remembers the date.

She is predeceased by her mother, Adelaide Ciaiola; her husband, Raymond Wasman; and her daughter-in-law, Linda Brink Wasman. Eleanor lived life to the fullest laughing and smiling her way through life. She belonged to numerous groups including Ocean City Married Couples, Questers, Antique Collector’s Club, Red Hat Society, an honorary member of the Mummers, numerous book clubs, and the Somers Point Garden Club. She loved to play mahjong, go to her Zumba class and most of all she loved to dance! She could often be found laughing with her friends Karen Morelli, Sue Phillips, Alice McCaffrey, Diane Zaborowski, Joanne Duffy, Marianne Mazzoni, Patty VanZant, Anne Marie Donely, Paula North and so many others who have laughed and supported her on her life’s journey.
