Obituary

Born one of five siblings in Kingfisher, Oklahoma on June 29th, 1933 as Elenora Carol Burnett, Eleanor Gilmour Sasaki passed away Thursday, October 29th, 2020 surrounded by her loving family in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

She is survived by her three daughters; Janice Gilmour, Rebecca Lane (Michael Lane), & Jamay Gilmour, their father Warren L. Gilmour along with her second husband's (David T. Sasaki) children; Ernest Sasaki and Cheryl Dunham (Lance Dunham).

She is also survived by her six grandchildren Kristen Dunham, Robert & Hala Dunham, James & Sarah Lane, Shannon & Brae Van Toor, Brian & Kira Dunham, and Kyle Lane as well as her sister Billie Jo Riley, and many more family members across the country.

A fiercely loving mother and grandmother, she was fun, elegant, beautiful, ageless, helpful, giving, energetic, a fantastic cook, seamstress, dancer, bridge player and gracious hostess.

She had a steel-trap mind for numbers, and unbeknownst talent for writing, and was a shining friend to all who met her.

Eleanor was reared in Kingfisher, OK where she was a cheerleader for her Kingfisher High School and voted Football Queen for her graduating class of 1952.

Eleanor worked as Secretary for the Poultry Industries Department at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK during college, later working in bookkeeping, property management, and as a real estate agent in Southern California before retiring.

She completed an Associates's Degree at LA Pierce College.

Throughout her life, she enjoyed supporting various clubs including the University Dames at OSU, the Girls Scouts, the Northridge Junior Women's Club, and the Night Owl Dance Group.

She volunteered full-time in her CA church daycare center for years, was a Salvation Army Bell Ringer, a volunteer for the Kingfisher Hospital Gift Shop, and delivered Meals on Wheels, all with a grand smile!

We are forever blessed by your love, courage, and determination, Mom, and your love and trust in Our Father in Heaven, thank You Jesus.

Her service will be held Saturday, May 15th, 2021, at 10:30 AM at the Kingfisher First United Methodist Church at 1800 S. 13th St. Kingfisher, OK.
