EDMESTON — Eleanor P. Talbot, 86, of Edmeston, courageous to the end, died Wednesday evening, Nov. 12, 2003, at The Meadows, with her family by her side.She was born Dec. 20, 1916, in Edmeston, the daughter of George M. and Ora F. (Crandall) Payne. She married Vane Talbot on Dec. 5, 1945. He predeceased her on Feb. 23, 1991.
Eleanor graduated from Edmeston Central School and the Utica School of Commerce. She retired from New York Central Mutual Insurance Company in December 1978. Eleanor was a member of the Second Baptist Church, Edmeston. She was a wonderful wife, mother and friend. Eleanor was thankful for her nice neighbors, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was a soft spoken woman who would seek advice, and also share her wisdom graciously. She was extremely well organized, unselfish to a fault, always caring and giving of herself and thinking of others. Eleanor was forever busy; clever with her hands, she would knit, sew, cook, and create crafts. However, her daily walks with her good friend, Ruth, took priority over phone calls or neighborly visits.
Eleanor is survived by her children and their spouses, Leonard O. Talbot of Norwich, Ronald J. and Peggy Talbot of Ft. Thomas, Ky., and Donald A. and Joyce Talbot of Edmeston; 10 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
