Eleanor M (Walsh) Morey,age 89, daughter of the late Charles and Margaret (Trainor) Walsh, died on
Sept. 4.
Eleanor was a graduate of Saint James Girls High in Salem,Framingham State College,where she earned her B.S in Dietetics and Boston College,with a Master's degree in Education.She began her career with the Veterans Administration as a Dietitian. She worked at VA hospitals across the country for 38 years and retired as the Director of Food and Nutrition Services for the Veteran's Administration.
"Aunt Cissie",as she was known to her large extended family,had little interest in material things and an abiding interest in the welfare of those she loved,particularly family members who might be experiencing a time of need. Eleanor had a wide and diverse circle of friends in and from all corners of the globe and from all segments of our society.She was an enthusiastic world traveler. One of her
great regrets was that the infirmities of age restricted her mobility and thus her access to her far-flung friends.
Eleanor is survived by her sister Marjorie Reynolds,brothers Charles (Ben) Walsh and his wife Joyce, John Walsh and his wife Evelyn and Brendan Walsh and his wife Kay and her Sister-In-Law Edie Walsh as well as many nieces and nephews.
