Eleanor “Ellie”, was a remarkable woman. She was a very loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a very dear friend to many. She was an avid member of the community. She belonged to the Order of the Eastern Star, the South Jefferson Historical Society, the 4 H Club, and the Methodist Church of Pennellville. She loved square dancing with her family, exploring genealogy, and spending quality

time with loved ones playing dominoes and dice.

Eleanor was preceded in death by her daughter Tammy Jo Miner-Day; her sibling, Wesley John Wescott; a grandson Ian Christopher; and parents, Kenneth and Marion Wescott.

She is survived by her devoted husband of nearly fifty six

years, John E. Miner; two children and spouses: Lori Miner-  Hall (Alan) of Oneida, NY, Charles Miner (Charlene) of

Ontario, NY; two brothers and one sister (along with their

spouses): Vernon (Diane) Wescott,Charles (Mary Lou)

Westcott; June (William) Philips; five grandchildren, and

three great-grandchildren.

before she peacefully passed away on July 3, 2018. She

will be forever loved and missed. Her family asks that her

Eleanor. It will be held on Tuesday July 10, 2018 at 11 a.m.
