Eloise M. Shonk Obituary

Passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on November 27, 2024 at age 81. She is survived by her loving husband of 61 years, Joseph; sons Michael Shonk and Shawn (Kristen) Shonk; granddaughters Dale (Aaron) Spencer and Noelle (Julian Verna) Shonk; sisters Barb Kleinow and Gail Foster; many nieces, nephews, friends and travel buddies. 

Eloise enjoyed traveling and along with Joe, always looked forward to their next adventure. She loved spending time with friends, especially playing cards and games. She truly enjoyed baking, and her family always anticipated a delicious dessert, which was her specialty. Eloise's favorite memories were of camping trips with her boys and spending time with her granddaughters. Eloise had a caring nature and she always tended to the needs of others before her own.
