Obituary for Elinor Ausplund Emery
ELINOR A. EMERY
CAMDEN………….Elinor A. Emery, 80, passed away on December 23, 2014 surrounded by her family and cat, Kendra. Born on June 26, 1934, she was the daughter of Edward and Sue Ausplund of Rockport. A Rockport High School graduate, Elinor was known for her witty personality and was a talented member of the basketball team. On March 30, 1960, she married Desmond Emery
During her early years, Elinor was a member of the Order of The Eastern Star and worked as a telephone operator in Rockland. Later, she was employed by GTE Sylvania in Waldoboro where she earned a nickname referring to her short stature.
In her retirement years, Eleanor enjoyed baking wonderful cakes, pies, muffins, and cookies and would share them with family and friends. In the springtime, she planted gladioli bulbs and gave away the beautiful flowers after they bloomed. Her life was colored in sharing dishcloths, hand knit mittens, and helping in any way she could especially donating much needed supplies at the animal shelter.
Her best friend remembered Elinor this way, “She was just like her mother, Susie, in that she loved helping people and giving all she could”.
Elinor will be missed by her husband of 54 years, Desmond Emery of Camden; daughter, Tracy Emery and her husband, Joel Dempsey of Cushing; grandson, Tristo Emery and his wife, Chanda of Camden; three grandchildren, Kasey, Reygan, and Blake; niece, Jean Ramsdell; nephews, Steve, Mark, David, Peter Ausplund; and her beloved feline companion, Kendra. Happy trails Mom!
A graveside service will be held at 2PM, Monday, December 29, 2014 at Seaview Cemetery , Russell Avenue, Rockport with the Rev. Ralph Miller officiating. If desired, memorial gifts may be made to PAWS, P.O. Box 707, Rockport, ME 04856; Knox County Humane Society, P.O.
