Eleanor (Taffy) Courtland - October 13, 1929 – October 7, 2020
Born in a log cabin above Yarmony Park, CO. She moved to Arizona with her husband in 1959 to Scottsdale, AZ, then moved to 115th Ave. & Hidalgo in the west valley in 1963. A west side mom to a generation of kids. A Tolleson booster and Avondale booster. Love of 4 generations of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a devoted member of her church family, her bio family and every other needing human who crossed her path. Last of the true West Valley mavens and pioneers. Love of family, love of country, love of life; in that order. There is no other like her. She will live in our hearts forever!

She is survived by her daughter Deidre and her husband Robert St. Romain, her son Daniel and his wife Sherry Courtland; grandchildren Megan East, Angela Williams, Colin Courtland, Sarah Stewart, Emily Sorg, Judy Von Courtland, Taylour Courtland and 11 great-grandchildren.
