Eleanor Boyd Rockwood Kosorok passed away Saturday, June 30, 2001 from unexpected medical complications. Her life was an example of service and Christ like love. Her husband, John credited her with enabling him to earn a PhD in computer science, and after turning 40, she had him teach her Fortran and Pascal programming languages. After John was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she immediately began preparing to support her family .She went back to school to finish her Masters in Education. John passed away on April 9, 1985. Three years later, she moved to Provo, Utah where three of her four sons were attending BYU. She again dived in to school and earned her Masters in Library and Information Science and, combining that with her expertise in programming and educating, launched her career as a library training consultant for various computerized library systems all over the country.

Bored by the expected, she was involved in every potentially dangerous hobby of her children. She was a licensed pyrotechnician, a fireworks enthusiast, a traveler to Israel, Europe, Australia, and South America, and was planning to teach English in China. She believed strongly that education is the key to experience, and learned Spanish and German to assist her in her travels.

Eleanor was preceded in death by two grandsons. Eleanor is survived by her four sons, all Eagle Scouts, returned LDS missionaries, sealed in the House of the Lord to their beautifu1 wives whom she considered her daughters and closest friends, and her 10 precious grandchildren, soon to be eleven.

Memorial services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, July 7, 2001, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Jadwin Chapel. Graveside services will be held at I :00 p.m. Saturday in Sunset Memorial Gardens.
