Eleanor was born on February 24, 1931, to Charles “Cooper” and Adaline (Carey) Kohn in Hazel Green, WI. She attended grade and high school in Hazel Green. Later she attended Bayless Business School in Dubuque, IA. She worked at the Hazel Green Hospital before moving to Colorado Springs, CO, and continued to work at El Paso Associates. It was there that she met Richard Nunez and they married at St Francis de Sales Church in Hazel Green on April 30, 1955.

They had two sons, Randy and Robert, and the four of them traveled west every summer, usually between Colorado and California. Richard and Eleanor traveled along the Mississippi River and enjoyed the vistas from Eagle Point Park, her last time this fall.

Eleanor was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Richard, brother and sister in-law Paul and Dorie Kohn, and in-laws Raphael and Soledad Nunez. She is survived by her sons Randy of Bettendorf, IA, and Robert, now of Dubuque.

The Nunez family is grateful to Andrea Ries MD, for providing excellent medical care for many years and Hospice of Dubuque for providing wonderful care and comfort to Eleanor and her sons at the end of her life.

Memorials may be sent to Hospice of Dubuque or the family for later charity donation.
