Eleanor Marie Moorman

 Eleanor Marie Moorman (nee Powell), 84, born June 20, 1942, in Yorktown, Indiana, died July 18, 2026, in West Chester, Ohio, after a brief illness.

 Elly is preceded in death by her husband of 54 years Charles Joseph Moorman (1938-2019), her parents Gale Levoy Powell (1915-2010) & Mary Francis Powell (nee Adkins) (1923-2015), and granddogs Buddy, Bailey, and Scooby.

 She is survived by her children Joseph Christopher (Amy) Moorman of Aurora, IN; Jennifer Marie Moorman of Mason, OH; Daniel Benjamin (Kelly) Moorman of Madisonville, TN; grandchildren Alexander Scott Davis & Zachary Mark Davis of West Chester, OH; her sister Carol Jean (John) Clegg of Muncie, IN; sisters-in-law, many cousins, nieces, and nephews; and granddogs Bear & Max, Gracie, Scrappy & Maggie.

 Elly was raised on a farm in Indiana. At 18, she moved to Cincinnati because farm life wasn’t for her. She met her husband Chuck while working at Procter & Gamble. He saw her walking in the rain wearing rubber galoshes, and he thought: “That’s the woman for me – she’s pretty and practical.” He outlasted her other suitors.

 Elly had a successful career as a Manager of Purchasing, Shipping and Receiving.

 She enjoyed animals, reading, word puzzles, watching game shows & westerns, and playing the board game “Aggravation”. One of her greatest joys included teaching her grandsons how to play card games.

 Elly was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, cousin, aunt, sister-in-law, and friend. She spent a lot of time caring for her loved ones.

 Elly was friendly, spunky, funny, smart, a straight-shooter, loyal, hardworking, frugal, stern and loving. She did everything with honesty and integrity. She will be greatly missed.

 A brief service will be held at 12 PM on Saturday, July 25th at Gate of Heaven Cemetery's chapel at 11000 Montgomery Road Cincinnati, OH 45249. 

Immediately following the service, family and friends are invited to gather for a Celebration of Life in the "Hearth" room at deSha's restaurant at 11320 Montgomery Road Cincinnati, OH 45249.
