• Notes

  Eleanor Frances Hackman, age 97, of Messiah Village in Mechanicsburg, passed away on April 15 at Holy Spirit Hospital. Eleanor, born in Petersburg, PA, was the daughter of James and Mary Heefner and sister of Harman Heefner of Penbrook. A graduate of John Harris High School in 1931 and a member of Christ Lutheran Church in Harrisburg, "Ellie" was married to Walden Hackman for over 50 years until his passing. She then married Scott Hackman in 1986 until his passing in 2004. She is survived by her niece, Mary Ellen Heefner, and Scott's daughter, Bonnie Hackman. Eleanor was employed at the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for over 50 years until her retirement. Eleanor loved to travel and took many cruises to England, Scotland, and the Caribbean as well as trips to Ireland, Bermuda, and Spain. Being a lover of music, she played the piano and organ. Ellie's creativity was also seen in her love of gardening, as an avid seamstress, and artistically in her painted landscapes. Ellie also loved animals, especially poodles, and was known to all for her kindness, warmth, and quiet faith in God. She will be missed by her family and the nursing staff at Messiah Village for her friendly smile and those blue eyes just waiting for you to sit down and tell her a story. Memorial contributions can be made to her church or Messiah Village in Mechanicsburg. A memorial service will be held at Christ Lutheran Church, 124 S. 13th Street, Harrisburg, on April 24 at 10 am with burial at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Penbrook.
