She was born September 27, 1914 in Sandusky. She worked for American Crayon after she graduated from Sandusky High School in 1933. In 1940, she eloped with Paul Collumb and they had a 21 year honeymoon and produced a little girl in 1943. In 1948, Eleanor went to work at the Telephone Company to help make it possible for her husband to go to college.

She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church, Sandusky, where she held many offices; was a member of the Business Women's Club and Church Women United; and wasa member of the YMCA Aquatics for nearly 30 years.
