Eleanor J. (Gaska) Pelot

September 15, 1933 – October 31, 2023

Eleanor J. (Gaska) Pelot passed away peacefully on October 31, 2023 at Benedictine Living Community under the comfort and care of Hospice. She was 90 years old. Eleanor was a resident of Benedictine Living Community since August 11, 2017.

Eleanor was born on September 15, 1933 to Sigmund and Magdeline (Pazio) Gaska. She married Earl Pelot on September 27, 1952. They were married for 63 years before Earl's passing in 2016. Their song was Tiny Bubbles by Don Ho. They would dance together whenever they heard that song. Together, they raised 5 children. She was a stay-at-home mom. Eleanor enjoyed baking, an occasional trip to the casino, playing bingo and listening to polkas on the radio. She was a Milwaukee Brewer fan unless they were playing the Chicago Cubs. Then all bets were on the Cubs!

Eleanor was a member of St. Mark's Catholic Church in Rothschild for over 70 years. A day did not go by without her saying the rosary. She had a strong faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ.

"When death cuts short a person's life, God immediately sends his angels to guard the soul on its return to its Creator."

Eleanor is survived by four sons: Dennis Pelot, Daniel (Julee) Pelot, Douglas Pelot, and Dwight Pelot: one daughter Diane (Thomas) Allorie. Seven grandchildren; Adam (Angie) Pelot, Ross (Tia) Bodenheimer, Danielle Pelot, Deanna Pelot, Caylee Nichols, Sarah Pelot and Jacob (Audrey) Allorie. Seven great grandchildren; Easton Pelot, Lillian Bodenheimer, Claire Bodenheimer, Grace Bodenheimer, Remington Nichols, Braelee Nichols, and William Allorie. Two sisters, Barbara (Stan) Javorski and Rita Mell.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Sigmund and Madgeline Gaska, sisters; Bernice Midlikowski and Dolores Disque. Granddaughter; Brooke Pelot.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Benedictine Living Community and Hospice Services for their tender and loving care.
