Eleanor Jacobson Rohrman

She was an animal lover and over the years she owned a variety of exotic pets: a monkey, a duck, bunnies, guinea pigs, and birds galore. She wasn’t just good to those in her home. Birds that found their way to her yard always found more seed than they could eat. She liked Notre Dame football and didn’t appreciate Joe “Pa” running up scores. For years she and her late husband would launch from Dividing Creek to spend the day fishing. Her thumb was green: she boasted more than 50 varieties of roses. Later years found her keeping her mind sharp with puzzles and playing along with the game show network and watching Bonanza and Gunsmoke on the western channel. rnIn high school she met a boy named Albert. Besides the 4 years he fought in WWII she never had him out of her sight. Their marriage would be blessed by three children: Albert (Edith), Eileen (Frank) Lynch, and Karen Olexy; 4 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her granddaughter, Kimmy Brocco.rnCome celebrate 88 great years Wednesday 9:30 to 11:00 at Daley Life Celebration Studio, Swedesboro, where there will be an 11:00 a.m. service.
