Eleanor Roy , of St. Johnsbury, formerly of Barnet, died peacefully Tuesday morning, Jan. 9, 2007, at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital at the age of 88. She was born in St. Johnsbury on Oct. 5, 1919, one of three children born to O. Dean and Jennie (Cassidy) Hale. A 1937 graduate of St. Johnsbury Academy, she graduated from Brightlook Nursing School. She considered her nursing work at Maxwell Field AFB in Alabama during World War II to be one of the high points of her life. Eleanor did a lot of private duty care for area families, many with whom she struck a lifelong friendship. She also was a registered nurse at Brightlook Hospital. For the past year and a half, Marcelle and Roaul Houde made Eleanor part of their family and provided her with wonderful care. For this her family will always be deeply grateful.

She is survived by two daughters, JoAnn Connor and Tony Albano and her son Josh Medlock of San Marcos, Texas (125 W.
