Elinor was a 1941 graduate of Victory High School and attended West Virginia University. In addition to having worked at G.C. Murphy Company, Watts Sauder Lear and the Stonewall Jackson Hotel, Elinor retired from Consolidated Natural Gas Company after 25 years of service.

Elinor was always active and volunteered her time whenever possible in organizations such as Women of the Moose, the Elks, the Senior Citizens and Cresthaven Civic Association. She was also a Mary Kay consultant for many years. She taught Sunday School at Vincent Memorial United Methodist Church when her children were young as well as being the MYF Leader.
