Eleanor Albert

Eleanor M. (Schickling) Albert , 72, of West Decatur died on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 at the Penn Highlands Clearfield, Clearfield.

Eleanor battled Rheumatoid Arthritis for many, many years. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. Her will was only superceeded by the love for her family.
