Obituary for Elenora Carrie Rohan (Drapalla)
Elenora Carrie Drapalla Rohan went to be with the Lord on February 9, 2022. She was born in Meyersville, Tx January 25th, 1935 to Ignatz and Regina Drapalla. Elenora married the love of her life, Edward Rohan on December 26th, 1953. During her husbands career with the Railroad, Elenora was a devoted home maker and mother. Together they built a life for themselves and their children during their 54 years of marriage. Elenora had a great love for all things nature, from gardening, ranching, hunting, fishing, traveling, and everything in between. You could always find her either sitting outside watching the birds, having her nose in a book, listening to her shortwave radio, or working with her hands in the dirt. She was very proud of her children, thankful to be able to spoil her grandchildren, and we were all so blessed to see her get to pick on every one of her great grandkids. We will love and miss our Mom/Grannie/GG/Wow Wow.
"Nevertheless I am with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory." (Psalm 73:23-24)
