Eleanor Maxine Brumbach, age 88, passed away peacefully Sunday, August 20, 2017 in Reno, Nevada.  She was born December 21, 1928 in Reserve, New Mexico to John Duncan Fraser and Ola McCarty Fraser.  She grew up in Reserve, New Mexico and Silver City, New Mexico.

Eleanor loved being a homemaker and mother.  She enjoyed caring for her yard, planting flowers and mowing the lawn (as recently as last summer).  She loved road trips, family reunions and taking her little dog to Starbucks for a “Pup-achino”.  She will be remembered for her kindness, selflessness and for her love of family.
