Eleanor
Marie Bloomer Havens - Class of 1941 - 10/5/1923 - 10/8/2017 On Sunday October
8, 2017, three days after her 94th birthday, Eleanor Marie Havens realized her
greatest dream and is now "walking the streets of Glory" with Jesus. Eleanor was
the third of five children born on the family homestead during the depression in
rural Chanute, Kansas. She was the daughter of Florence and Hugo Larson. She
spoke frequently about her youth milking cows and learned early on that sewing
was one of the necessities of life. She always remained a proud Jayhawk girl
from Kansas. "ROCK-CHALK JAYHAWK!" she would cry out. She and her husband raised
three children and lived in numerous places as Dr. Nels Havens pursued his
career as a school superintendent. The past 42 years, up to and through
retirement, they resided in the Marana School District of north-west Tucson,
Arizona. This included a year and a half spent as missionary helpers in Papua
New Guinea for the Wycliffe Bible Translators. The Havens were long standing
members of the New Life Bible Fellowship in Tucson. Many members of New Life
will tell you that Eleanor was the first person who greeted them when they
visited the church. Eleanor had a God given gift of hospitality and shared her
gift of sewing. Mrs. Havens was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years,
Nels. She is survived by her son, Marvin (Sue) of Greer, South Carolina, and
daughters, Marilyn (Don) Demijan of Burlington, Iowa and Norma (Bob)
Havens-Belknap of Reno, Nevada. She is also survived by one brother, Harold
Larson of Hoisington, Kansas; four grandchildren, Vanessa, Nick, Karin and
Brian; two great-grandchildren, Athena and Justin and numerous nieces, nephews
and cousins. A Celebration of Life will be held for Eleanor at New Life Bible
Fellowship in Tucson on Saturday, October 21, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. with a
reception at the church immediately following the service. A Visitation will be
held at the East Lawn Cemetery on Friday, October 20, 2017 at 1:00 p.m.
Interment will follow the Visitation at East Lawn Cemetery in Tucson on Friday,
October 20, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that
contributions be made to Wycliffe Bible Translators for projects in Ukarumpa,
Papua New Guinea and New Life Bible Fellowship missionary fund. The family also
requests your prayers that the love of the Lord would spread to the hearts of
all. Arrangements by WALTON'S FUNERAL HOME.
