A memorial and celebration of life service will be conducted on April 23, 2016 at the Community Bible Church in Central City, NE at 11:00 am with Pastor Dale Janzen officiating. Eleanor was born in October 1934 on a farm near First View, Colorado, the fourth child and daughter of Robert and Carrie (Jensen) Geary. As an early teen, her family moved back to the family farm near Blair, NE and Eleanor attended New England School as a freshman, before transferring to a Mennonite boarding high school in Hesston, KS. After graduation, she attended Omaha Bible Institute where she met and later married James Wright in June of 1955. Their marriage was a continuous adventure which had them dwelling in many residences in different states and countries over the years. In 2013, Eleanor wrote a book entitled No Certain Dwelling Place which describes their life and the near constant moving as God led them to serve in ministry throughout their 60 years together. She described Move #45 into Bader Villa in Central City as her last move – unless it was to Heaven! God granted her wish at 10:25pm on Monday the 21st of March. She died peacefully at home and was ushered into the presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was a devoted prayer “warrior” and prayed continuously for her friends and family – especially her grandkids and their children.
