She completed grades six and seven in Snohomish, Washington, when her family moved to Washington state in 1929. They returned to rural Hand County two years later. Eleanor graduated from Wessington High School in 1936. During World War II, Eleanor worked for the hand County Ration office, and later for the Brookings County Ration office. Eleanor was transferred from Brookings to Greeley, Colorado, where she worked as a secretary to the commander of a German prisoner of war camp. On May 29, 1945, she married C. Donald Lombard in a simple ceremony at the Methodist church in Pipestone, Minnesota. At the end of World War II, the couple moved to Miller and later to Brookings. Eleanor worked for the Brookings Clinic for 45 years. After retiring, she worked for the Arlington School District where she enjoyed working with all the children.
