her husband, Walter, spoke out, revealing how the church had abandoned her. At the reading of her will, Eleanor’s message was clear: she had planned to give 20% of her estate to the church, but after their neglect, she left them only one cent each. Instead, her final donation went to Reverend Lila Hayes,
the one person who had truly cared for her. Eleanor’s legacy wasn’t in the money she could give, but in the love and service she showed others. The church received the lesson they deserved, and Eleanor was remembered not for her generosity, but for the way she made people feel seen and valued.
