Eleanor G. Liddle, 92, of Latham, formerly of Cohoes, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, June 30, 2024, with children by her side.

Born, raised and educated in Cohoes, she was the daughter of the late Benjamin and Isamae Rosecrans.

Eleanor entered the U.S. Women’s Army Corp (WAC) and served during the Korean Conflict.

She met, fell in love with, and married Eugene Liddle, while they were both serving in the U.S. Army. They then moved to Cohoes to raise their family.

Eleanor served outside the home as a switchboard operator for the Cohoes Hospital, from which she retired.

Eleanor enjoyed various forms of artistic expressions in painting and drawing, mostly of landscapes. Her interest in our government caused her to enjoy having political debates and exchanges of people’s views. She was a member of the Loudonville Community Church and devoted her time to her husband and children.

Eleanor is pre-deceased by her husband Eugene and her oldest daughter Sharon Callahan of Cohoes.
