Elinor Louise (Bohnet) Adams "has gone to her great reward" as she would say, on Wed, Mar 5, 2008. She followed her daughter, Diane Childs and her husband, Gale, both of whom she dearly missed. Her beloved brother, Ronald Bohnet, led the way by just eight days. Elinor loved life. She enjoyed watching and naming the birds who came to her feeders, a good joke, great conversations with friends at the Moose Lodge in Kalkaska, her summers at the cottage on the Big Manistee River, and the friends she knew there, a good game of Euchre with her family and reading the daily obits to make sure she wasn't in there yet. Elinor was born, raised and lived her entire life in Lansing, when she wasn't up-north or accompanying her husband on business trips. She graduated from Central High School and worked as a bookkeeper for her father's store; Bohnet Electric Company. Surviving are: her daughter, Lisa Gorman, Granddaughters, Christina (Philip) Massuch and Colleen (Steven) Egleston, great grandson, Alexander Jared Egleston, sisters in law, Evelyn "Woody" Bohnet and Stella Millard, brothers in law, George Adams and Mark Adams, nephews: Patrick (Kathy Fosnight) Bohnet, Michael (Vicki) Bohnet and Steven (David Gregware) Bohnet. Extra special extended family: Noel and Cindy Bartly and girls and Tom and Pat Biergans. The faimly would like to thank Elinor's neighbors, Wayne, Heidi, & Brian and Fred & Jane for their assistance and care over the last two years. Special thanks goes to Eaton Community Hospice House for their wonderful compassion and care as Elinor's spirit left her body. A memorial visitation was held from 5 to 8 pm on Sat, Mar 8, 2008, at the Estes-Leadley Greater Lansing Chapel.
