Mathews, Tribune News Service Eleanor ‘El’ Alice Simonsen April 1, 1928 — February 4, 2017 After 88 elegant years as a wife, mother, and friend to many, Eleanor Simonsen passed on Saturday, February 4, 2017 at Hospice House in Bend. Born April 1, 1928, in Passaic, New Jersey, to William Severus and Marie (Besemer) Kievit of Clifton, New Jersey. After an early career in New York City as a legal secretary she eventually set- tled in northern New Jersey to start a family after marry- ing Warren “Cy” Simonsen. Over the years, the family resided in Connecticut, Utah, and Maine. A resident of Sisters since 1993, she found the town to be her life-long home and enjoyed the community and the many friends she devel- oped over the decades. Her family wishes to extend their love to everyone who touched her life. Eleanor is survived by her son, Gregg Simonsen and was pre-deceased by her husband, Warren “Cy” Simonsen; daughter, Kathleen “Apple” Eddy; brother William “Duke” Elbert Kievit; sister-in- law, Mildred Postma of Flemington, New Jersey; niece, Jacquline MCCaully and her husband James of Ringoes, NJ. She is also survived by Warren’s first cousin Roger “Si” Simonsen and his wife, Jeanne, of Redmond.

Her family wishes to thank the many neighbors and friends who provided her friendship and support helping her to preserve her dignity as her health gradu- ally declined, allowing her to maintain the home she so loved.
