Eleanor E. Talian ( Nee: Janosik) 87 of Little Egg Harbor, formerly of Old Bridge, NJ entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, August 24, 2021 surrounded by her loving family. Eleanor was born in Swoyersville, PA, the daughter of Michael and Cecelia Janosik. She graduated from Swoyersville High School and attended Nesbitt Hospital's nursing program in Kingston, PA - becoming a Registered Nurse in 1955. She was born to be a healing nurse and worked for Veterans Affairs Hospitals in the Bronx, NY and East Orange, NJ, and then for the Raritan Bay Medical Centers at Perth Amboy and Old Bridge hospitals during her 43 year nursing career. She loved to travel with her family and friends - going to Disney, Alaska, Hawaii, the Grand Canyon, Ireland, England and everywhere in between. She also loved baking and helping her parish of many years, St. Bernadette's RC Church in Parlin with their summer vacation bible school program and fundraising efforts. Her happiest moments were spending time with her family and friends on holidays or making dinners and getting the crew together at the house she and her husband bought in 1960 on Diana Court in Old Bridge. She was a proud American and appreciated the service and sacrifice of the members of our armed forces everyday.
