Greenfield, MA – Eleanore E. (Fealey) Wallner, 96, passed away
Saturday September 20, 2025, with loving family by her side. She was
born in Mt. Vernon, NY on November 21, 1928, the daughter of Michael
and Eleanor (Knoll) Fealey.
Besides her parents, Eleanore was predeceased by her husband of 65
years, Frank Wallner on May 14, 2018. She leaves her five children:
Michael Wallner, Valerie Amor and Mordechai Amor, Richard Wallner and
his wife Joyce Davis, Thomas Wallner and his wife Laurie and Betty
Scotti and her husband Daniel. Along with 12 grandchildren: Aryeh and

Additionally, she has five great grandchildren: Juliana, Matthew,

Eleanore attended local schools in Milwaukee and graduated from
Riverside University High School in Milwaukee, WI, class of 1946. She
continued her education earning a Bachelor of Science in Education at
the Milwaukee State Teachers College, now known as the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She enjoyed working as a Kindergarten teacher for
2 years earning her teaching certificate before marrying Frank and
moving to Massachusetts to start a family.
Her love of animals and nature’s beauty, especially flowers, was well
known by everyone who knew her. So much so that no one was allowed to
cut the grass too early in the spring until the flowers were done
blooming! She had a passion for crossword puzzles and always had them
near her. As an active member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, she was
in charge of the Altar Guild for many years and taught Sunday School,
as well. She holds the distinction of being the longest standing
member of the church. Her deeply held faith in God was foundational to
how she lived her life.
Calling hours will be held on Friday evening, September 26th from 5pm
-7pm at the Kostanski Funeral Home, 220 Federal St. Greenfield, MA.
There will be a visitation on Saturday morning, September 27th from
