Eleanor Maybelle Collins (Moe) of Duluth, Minnesota passed away on March 2, 2025 in Duluth, having just celebrated her 95th birthday.

Eleanor was born in Duluth to Julia and Simon Moe on February 3, 1930. She attended Central High School, graduated from UMD, and later received a Master's Degree in Education from the U. of M. After a brief job teaching in Esko, MN, she worked as a dietician at St. Luke's Hospital. She then joined the faculty of UMD, Department of Home Economics and Family Life Education, and later served as Department Chair, retiring in 1994.

Eleanor married her loving husband John, "Mr. C", on March 7, 1953. Until his passing in 2021, they loved to travel the world together and enjoyed activities such as camping and fishing closer to home. Eleanor was devoted to her family and especially enjoyed her collection ("Twos") of photos taken of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren at the age of two.

Eleanor was very active in a variety of programs at First Lutheran Church in Duluth, including serving as FLC Foundation secretary and in quilting and prayer shawl ministries. She participated in many roles in the Arrowhead Home Economics Association. She enjoyed all forms of fabric crafts and needlework, gifting special-occasion dresses, quilts and knitted items, and creating intricately cross-stitched Christmas stockings for grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
