Eleanor F. Kidd, age 77, of the town of Port Washington, WI died Saturday, December 19, 2015 at her home.

She was born on November 28, 1938 in Barronett, WI; daughter of Louis and Frieda Kend. She grew up in Menomonee Falls, marrying Harold W. Kidd, originally from Tacoma, Washington, in Milwaukee on October 27, 1956. Together they moved to the town of Port Washington and raised their family.

Eleanor was a homemaker, later working at Leeson Electric in Grafton. She was a proud grandma, keeping busy crocheting and doing needlepoint. She enjoyed other crafts, reading western novels and stories of the history of the West. She seldom missed a horse race on television.
