Eleanor Mae Sullivan, 73, of Russell Springs, KY passed from this life on Monday, September 1, 2025 at her home. She was born on December 8, 1951 in Russell County, a daughter of the late Earl and Maggie Harris Rexroat.
Eleanor retired from Russell County Hospital as a Pharmacy Technician after 30 years of dedicated service. She was a longtime member of Beckham Ridge Separate Baptist Church. Eleanor had a servant’s heart and would always be there for her family and friends when they needed help. She was young at heart and enjoyed playing with her grandbabies and spending time with her family. Eleanor loved the outdoors and enjoyed the simple things in life- the flowers in her garden, the changing of the trees with the seasons, just admiring God’s creation.
