Obituary

Eleanor Adele Zeigler Swindal: Daughter, Sister, Mother, “La La”, and Friend.  Eleanor was Strong, Brave, Selfless, Caring, Gracious, and wholly dedicated to her family, and friends.  Mom never met a stranger, and she helped everyone she knew as well as those she didn’t know.  We have many wonderful memories of her.  She loved us all unconditionally, and just as she loved us, she loved life and lived it to the fullest.  Mom was always fixing or taking something or someone somewhere; not because she had to, but because she wanted to.  She did more than was ever asked of her, and often times cared more about us than we cared about ourselves.

It is good for all of us to remember who she was, how she loved and what she believed. Our honor is to keep her spirit alive by continuing her good works and by loving everyone the way God loves, the way she loved.  We are truly blessed to have known her, and we can be thankful that she was part of our lives. We already miss her tremendously.

Mom was welcomed into heaven by her Mama in time to celebrate her son“Bubba’s” Birthday with him and all her loved ones who have gone before.

A native Texan, Eleanor was born to Pete and Blanche Zeigler on April 30, 1932 in Rock Island, Texas, as the youngest of nine children, and is survived by two loving sisters Edith and Lillian, and her daughter Lori as well as a host of devoted friends and family.  As a faithful employee, she retired from Southwestern Bell following 32 years of service. After a difficult two year struggle with Ovarian Cancer, Eleanor passed from this life gently and quietly on October 10, 2014 surrounded by her precious, loving family.

The memorial service celebrating her life will be held at ARIA Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas, and will be officiated by Chaplin Boby Kurian.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the American Cancer Society for Ovarian Cancer.

Arrangements are under the direction of

    Sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. We moved to Rock Island in 1952, I was in the 5/th grade. We were neighbors to Eleanor’s family. We lived in the Pink house across the pasture South of Eleanor’s Mom & Dad, known as the Stokely House. My parents were Walter & Lera Mae Wied. My sisters were Molly & Nancy. I remember your Mom’s Dad (Pete), but do not remember your Grandmother or your Mother. Mr. Pete used to let me Dove hunt in his pasture. May God bless & comfort your family. John Knesek

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
