Eleanor Ruth Salvo, 71, of Santa Fe, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, September 17, 2002. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Anyone who knew Eleanor would be able to describe her as a"beautiful" person in every sense of the word. She always had a positive attitude no matter what she was experiencing in her lifetime. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who gave much inspiration and knowledge about life to all of her family and friends. Born in 1931, in Wyandotte, MI educated in Jal, NM and Highlands University, she married in 1952 to husband, Sam and had children, Linda, Greg, and Cathy. Eleanor lived and worked as an educator to all she touched. This loving interaction began in Moriarty, NM and continued with Santa Fe Public Schools and Vo Tech. She also shared her knowledge, experience and wisdom with state employees from new-hires to governors and first ladies. She was and continues to be an invaluable inspiration to her six grandchildren, Vince, Matt, Dominic, Pat, Buddy and Jessica and she is a source of wisdom and hope to the teams of medical professionals that have had contact with her throughout her 20-year battle with cancer. Eleanor was preceded in death by her parents, Charles A."Butch" and Ruth Leuschner Boyd; her brothers, Dave and Cliff; and sister-in-law, Berlinda. She is survived by her husband, Sam of Santa Fe; and the families of Linda and Ernie Garcia of Albuquerque, Greg and Maggie Salvo of Tomball, TX, Cathy and Randy Wren of Okla. City, OK, Marcy and Jerry Lasater of Bloomfield, NM, Robert and Augusta Elmwood of New Orleans, John and Ann Salvo of Albuquerque, Delores and Al Farquer of Albuquerque, Annie and Steve Weybrew of Raton, and Bernard Salvo. A Legacy Candle Ceremony will be held on Thursday, September 19, 2002 followed by a Rosary at 7:00 p.m. at Berardinelli Family Chapel. Memorial Mass will be held on Friday, September 20, 2002 at 12:00 noon at St. John's Catholic Church. Interment will follow at Santa Fe National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer contributions be made to the Tierra Pacifica Sanctuary, 435 St. Michael's Drive, Suite B201, Santa Fe, NM 87505, which was a tremendous help to her in her battle with cancer. Arrangements are under the direction of Berardinelli Family Funeral Service, 1399 Luisa St. 984-8600.
