Eleanor M. Durst Pope, 82, of Masury, departed from this life on Saturday, August 21, 2021.

Mrs. Pope was born August 7, 1939, in Mingoville, Pa, a daughter of the late Charles and Helen (Workman) Roland. She was a 1957 graduate of Everett Southern High School and graduated from the former Windber School of Nursing.

"Ellie" was employed at Sharon Regional Medical Center as a nurse and social worker, from 1964, until her retirement in 2001.

Beside the love of her family, her love of God and her faith community guided her life. Ellie was thanked for her many years of volunteering and service to others when she was named as a Buhl Park honoree in 2008.

Eleanor was a member of Christ Lutheran Church, Sharon.

She leaves behind her children to cherish her memory, William (Margaret) Durst, and Steven (Fay) Durst, all of Masury, Beverly (Bob) Cox, of Frisco, NC, Bonnie (David) Carver, of West Mansfield, OH; and a step-daughter, Kathy Pope, of Sharpsville. She also leaves behind eight grandchildren; and 15 great grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, Ellie was preceded in death by her first husband, William R. Durst (1961-1974); and her second husband, Richard D. Pope (1976-1994); three brothers, James, John and Robert Roland; and two sisters, Betty Roland Ramsey and Jennie Roland Kramer.

The family suggests memorial contributions be directed to Christ Lutheran Church, for either World Hunger or the food pantry, 396 Buhl Blvd., Sharon, Pa 16146; or to an outreach ministry of the donor's choice.

Funeral service will be 2 p.m. Saturday (08/28/2021) in Christ Lutheran Church, Sharon, with Rev. Denny Blauser, officiating.

Interment: America's Cemetery, Hermitage.
