Eleanor Louise Venton died at home at age 93. She was under Hospice Care. Born in Petaluma to a family primarily in the chicken business (the Tennyson's and

(Kathy) passed away a few days before Eleanor. She is also survived by her brother in law Ron Heidinger (Kathy), five beloved grandchildren, Carly, John (Rebecca), Danielle, Jeff and Zachary (Allison). Lights of her life were her great grandchildren Delaney, Jack, Teddy and Mason. She had nieces, nephews and cousins too

numerous to mention. Married at age 22 to Jack Gregg Venton, she settled into living in Novato where she assisted her husband in his plastering business until his death in 1984. She continued active in the business with her son Larry until he and his children took over. Eleanor enjoyed the Russian River, dancing and camping.

She was known for her gardening, cooking, baking and hospitality. She loved travelling and visited most continents. A big part of Eleanor's life was teaching others about the Bible. She was a member of the Novato Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses the majority of her adult
