BRENTWOOD - Eleanor L. Mooers, 90, of Brentwood, died Friday, Jan. 5, 2001, 
at Exeter Healthcare in Exeter. 

Born Dec. 24, 1910, in Farmington, she was the daughter of Earl and Ethel 
Edgerly and graduated from Farmington High School in 1929. Shortly thereafter
she moved to Haverhill, Mass., where she met and married her beloved Robert
on Oct. 11, 1930. 

At the center of her life were her husband, five children and her home. A 
devoted homemaker and craftswoman, she exhibited her knit garments, hooked 
and braided rugs at local fairs, consistently bringing home blue ribbons. In
spite of working many years as a full-time retail clerk or factory worker, 
she maintained her home and crafts throughout her long life. 

In addition, she took an active role in community affairs. She served 
variously as an officer in her church, a Girl Scout leader, Worthy Matron of 
Corinthian Chapter of The Order of the Eastern Star, a member of Daughters of
the American Revolution, an officer in Brentwood Senior Citizens, and an 
active member of the Brentwood Ladies Circle. Her love of gardening and dogs
rounded out this busy life. 

She was predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Robert L. Mooers; her 
first-born, Joan L. (Mooers) Connolly; a granddaughter, Sharon Connolly; and 
two sisters, Earline (Edgerly) Roberts and Doris (Edgerly) Bailey. 

She is survived by four children, Robert L. Mooers Jr. of Bellingham, Wash.; 
Doris (Mooers) Dennehy of Newmarket; Richard E. Mooers of Potsdam, N.Y.; and 
Shirley (Mooers) Paone of Nashua; 13 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; 
and one great-great-grandchild.
