It is with great sadness that the family of Eleanor Grace Futral Boron, 90 years young, announces that she passed away peacefully on Thursday night, March 13, 2025.

Eleanor was born to Roscoe and Callie Futral on January 1, 1935. The youngest of 9 siblings, she grew up surrounded by family and continued to deeply cherish time spent with her siblings, nieces, and nephews over the years.

She was happiest when she was taking care of her two grandchildren. She was an excellent cook, known far and wide for her delicious food (especially her homemade cakes). She enjoyed traveling and took many unique trips with friends and family as often as she could.
She was a member of Potters Hill Advent Christian Church since childhood. She also attended Sandy Plain Original Free Will Baptist Church, where she was a member of the Adult II Sunday School class as well as Tom McMahon's "Come As You Are" home church. She loved the Lord and often spoke of his goodness toward her. Eleanor was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.

She was predeceased by her daughter Melissa Kennedy, husband and father of her children, Lloyd H. Kennedy, her beloved second husband Leo Boron, her four brothers, Gordan Futral (infant), Leslie (Beatrice), Nathan (Rosa) and George Wayne Futral and four sisters, Ruby Futral (infant), Letha Whaley (J.B.), Geraldine Quinn (Raeford) and Macy Casey (George).

She is survived by her two daughters, Patsy Houston (Gregg) and Rhonda Kennedy-Quinn (Bob); grandchildren, Joseph Murray (Nicole) and Callie Johnson (Jared); and great grandchildren, Will Murray, Isla Grace Johnson, and Ives Johnson.
