Eleanor died suddenly on January 18, 2023 in Orlando, Florida. Born in Jamaica, Queens New York on March 3, 1941. The daughter of Charles and Eleanor Goetz, Eleanor was a lifelong dancer.

Together they had three children, Roni, Susan and Keith. She was a proud grandmother to Lee Anne, Michael, Matthew, Rebecca and Ryan. She was also a great grandmother to Mason and favorite son in law Mike. She is also survived by her brother, Charles and sister-in-law Janet, as well as nieces and nephews, Wendy, Cathy, Richard, Robert, Joseph and Tucker.
