In 1953 Eloise married Eddie Haynes who preceded her in death. Survivors include two daughters, Leanne Haynes and husband Mike Hillis and Carla Roach and husband Eddie Roach. She is also survived by her only grandchild, Kathryn Roach whom she loved and adored. Eloise had several nieces and nephews and enjoyed many special visits with nephew Robert (Peggy) Haynes and niece Valerie Edgar Mied.

Affectionately nicknamed “Weesie,” Eloise was known for her homemade rolls, tasty desserts and exemplary skills as a personal seamstress for many Humboldt residents. Special longtime friends Lynn Gray and Janet DiChiara with her dog Hope shared many afternoon visits on the front porch. Loving all dogs, Eloise also enjoyed her grand-dogs, Boris and Maze. The family expresses its appreciation to the nurses and CNA staff of Avondale Health and Rehabilitation Center for the loving care given to Eloise in the final year of her life.
