Eleanor Ann Spohn

Eleanor Ann Spohn, 74, of Butler passed away Monday at Butler Memorial Hospital of a brain aneurysm.

She was born Oct. 30, 1943, in Lawton, Okla., and was the daughter of the late Avis (Wauqua) and Samuel Kosechequetah.

Eleanor was a member of Oak Hills Christian Church.

She was especially proud of her 100 percent Native American descent and was a member of the Comanche Nation. She traveled often back to her hometown of Lawton, Okla., just to visit family and attend the annual Comanche Nation Fair Pow Wow.

She was an avid and expert bingo player. She loved to sew anything and everything for her grandchildren. She also loved to garden with her husband.

Eleanor always made time for each of her four grandchildren. They were her world. She left them with a lifetime of memories. She will live forever in their hearts and through the many stories they share and will share with their children and grandchildren.

Eleanor touched numerous lives and left a unique and lasting impression, usually mixed with so much laughter. She was known for her high-pitched, crazy, contagious laughter, which we will miss.

She leaves behind her loving and devoted husband of almost 40 years, Francis “Joe” Spohn. They were wed on Oct. 18, 1980.

She will also be forever remembered by her three children, James (Karen) Huselton, Deborah (James) Dyer and Tracy Huselton.

To her four grandchildren, Grama walked on water. She will be eternally loved by Tyler, Christopher, Jessica and Lexie, who now have their own special angel in heaven to help guide their lives.

Eleanor helped people her whole life. She gave them money, food, clothing and many times, shelter. She also was an organ donor. As of this writing, her family was made aware that both of her kidneys were able to help two people who required transplants. Her liver went to a person who was told without a liver transplant, he would not live. Even in death, she is still giving.
