ELEANOR LOUISE HUBERT Resident of Fremont, CA May 14, 1930 - September 25, 2010 Eleanor Hubert passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 25, 2010, after a long struggle with failing health. She touched many lives with her smile, gentle touch and positive attitude. Eleanor was born in Winnipeg, MB. She grew up in a loving Christian home in the area of Moosehorn, MB. She married Herb Hubert on October 27, 1949. They lived in Moosehorn and Spearhill, MB until immigrating with their three children to Fremont, CA in 1963. They lived on Hamilton Way, Margery Drive, and Piper Street in Fremont. Eleanor moved to Merrill Gardens six years ago. She worked at Siliconix in Sunnyvale during the 1970s and 1980s. She was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother and friend. Her favourite thing to do was spending time with her family, and how she enjoyed showing off the great-grandchildren. She also enjoyed playing cards, baking, knitting, gardening and reading. Her new passion at 76 became bowling. She loved going to plays, the ballet and the symphony. Eleanor and her family were members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 4211 Carol Avenue, Fremont, CA. While living at Merrill Gardens, she attended church services conducted by Tom and Sarah Cory. She will be dearly missed, but she rests in peace and God's loving embrace. Eleanor is survived by her children Barbara Chrisp (Dale), Jim Hubert (Donna), and Randy Hubert of Fremont, eight grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brothers Lloyd and Allen Wersch of Canada, sister Ruth Kort of Canada, and sister Mildred Donaldson of Santa Barbara. Eleanor was predeceased by husband Herbert Hubert, parents Roy and Lillie Wersch, and brother Robert Wersch. Friends and family are invited to attend a memorial service on Sunday, October 10, at 2:00 p.m., at Merrill Gardens, 2860 Country Drive, Fremont, CA (510-790-1645).
