Who is Nora Grabowski?
Eleanor Grabowski passed from this world into the presence of our Heavenly Father on July 16, 2022 in Charleston, South Carolina—the Saturday and final day of the 2022 CiRCE National Conference, which her mother was in town to attend. By all accounts, she was a sweet and beautiful young girl, who loved her family and her Lord.
A note from her family: “The surprise of our beautiful girl being born was one that changed our lives forever. Eleanor gave us so much joy from the very beginning. She always remained close to mom and was doted on by her dad and brothers. She loved to sing, dance, visit the ocean, and play house. She was always the mother role during family play or Mother Mary when acting out the nativity. She was the center of our lives in such a profound way. Nora had a great love for babies and could never get enough of holding and caring for them even at her young age. She had a great love for Jesus and the Blessed Mother that was inspiring to all who met her. We miss her beyond measure but are so overjoyed that she is with our Lord in heaven interceding for so many people and will be there to welcome us into paradise when we, through the mercy of God, are destined to join her there. My sweet Eleanor, pray for us.”
