Eloise Estrada (Lebanon)'s Obituary
Eloise Bernice Estrada, daughter of Aaron and Stella Dobbs Fleming, was born February 23, 1929, in the State of Mississippi. She departed this life Tuesday, November 13, 2018, in Lebanon South Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, in Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of eighty-nine years, eight months, and twenty-one days.
She was united in marriage to Jose “Frank” Maria Estrada, and to this union one daughter was born.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Frank; a daughter, Terry Baker; several brothers and sisters.
Eloise is survived by two granddaughters, Jennifer Dishman, and her husband, Lee, of Springfield, Missouri, and Stephanie Vose and her husband, Daryl, of the State of Colorado; a grandson, Jason Acero, of the State of California; eight great-grandchildren, Jordan, Josh, Jenna, Jada, Jazel, Skylee, Jocelyn, and Bristol; several nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
She was born in Mississippi and was raised in Blytheville, Arkansas. At the age of seventeen, she moved to California, where she met Frank and they were married. It was there that they made their home and lovingly raised their daughter. Eloise not only helped Frank on the farm, but she was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family. Shortly after Frank passed away, Eloise moved to Missouri, to be near her family.
She enjoyed working in her garden and was an avid reader. She loved her family deeply and did everything for her family. Eloise was a loving grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that she will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
Arrangements are incomplete at this time and will be announced by
Holman-Howe Funeral Home of Lebanon, Missouri.
