Eleanor M. Weiner (Levine)

Age 90, of Framingham and formerly of Needham, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family on March 26, 2023.

Cherished wife of Richard Weiner for 70 years. Beloved mother of Amy Willinsky and her husband Jeff of Canton, David Weiner and his wife Linda of Ithaca NY, and Bruce Weiner and his wife Pam of Davie, FL.  Devoted “Nana” to Naomi, Ben and Elana Willinsky, Rachael and Meri (Matt) Weiner, Nadine Aigen, Dan Kelley, Lydia (Chris) Virino and Iyanna (Mike) Marshall, and proud great-grandmother of five. Sister of Ralph Levine and Seymour Levine.  Dear sister-in-law of Irma Zarinsky and beloved to many nieces, nephews and life-long friends.

Ellie was a long-time volunteer at WBZ’s Call for Action and later worked as a state ombudswoman for numerous nursing homes.  Her kugel, kneidel and soup were legendary, her green thumb admired, and her helmet hairdo envied.  She will be deeply missed for her good humor, and her love and devotion to family and friends.

Thank you to Home Helpers and Good Shepherd Hospice for their compassionate care.  The family would also like to express their thanks and gratitude to the Shillman House family for their love and support during this difficult time.
