Born in Green Point, New York on October 30, 1928, she was two years old when her family moved to east Vineland. Eleanor had two siblings, Mary who is now deceased and Edward.

In 1947 Eleanor graduated from Vineland High School and waited a bit before deciding to go back to school at Glassboro State College. In 1972, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree with 15 additional credits in teaching. Eleanor didn't stop there, she continued her education at Fairleigh Dickinson University and in 1986 she graduated with a Master's degree in teaching, plus 15 credits. She also attended school for casino gaming in 1977.
