It was a great pleasure to know Eleanor and Jake at Hideaway Beach Campground in New Jersey for over 30 years. Eleanor was a sweet and beautiful person who will be greatly missed by everyone she knew. Many prayers for the family, especially Jake. Jake and Eleanor were the best of friends. I am happy that I made it back east this summer to see them. They are the first people I look for. I am so sorry for your loss.

I grew up going in and out of the Levering home, at the table for great food or cards, at celebrations and gatherings or just hanging in the driveway, on the porch or in the basement with John and the rest of the pack.
I was welcomed with open arms from day one and will live with many happy memories because of the openness and love shared.
I know John definitely welcomed you with one of those amazing hugs – he gave the best hugs!!!
You will be missed Momma Levering – To Pop Levering you are surrounded by much love and many prayers.
Love,
Antoinette

I am so sorry to hear of Eleanor’s passing. Such a kind person. Always a minute to chat with you. Eleanor along with her husband Jake were Mr. and Mrs. Hideaway Beach. Everyone knows that happy, loving, fun couple !! We all will miss seeing Eleanor in her shady spot at the pool or just floating around shooting the breeze with her Hideaway family… RIP.

Jake, my heart breaks for you, knowing the deep sense of sadness & loss you are feeling. I too experienced those feelings when I lost, John, the love of my life, just 1 1/2 years ago. I’m sure John was there to greet Eleanor at Heaven’s Gate. She is now at peace & is one of God’s precious angels. May God bring you peace as you try to fill your emptiness & lonliness with the many wonderful memories you made together. Know that Eleanor’s loving spirit will live forever in your heart.
In Christian Love, Janet Jackson
