Eleanor Mae Naremore

Eleanor Naremore Obituary Eleanor was the middle of three daughters born September 17, 1931 in Winnfield Louisiana to Calvin Clark and Ada Mae Holmes. She lived in Winnfield until the age of 24 when she met the love of her life, Robert (Bob) Naremore. Eleanor and Bob had a very traditional marriage. Bob worked as a petroleum engineer and Eleanor stayed home and cared for the children. She was a wonderful homemaker and very loving mother. Eleanor loved shopping at antique stores and consignment shops for furniture, rugs, lamps and all sorts of gems for the home. She became quite the interior decorator by sewing her own drapes, refurbishing, painting and staining old furniture, etc… Bob’s last company transfer before retiring landed the family in Memorial Northwest Subdivision in Spring, Texas in 1977. This is when Eleanor’s volunteer community service kicked into high gear. The subdivision was fairly new and still growing so she began working with the home builders and developers and soon became head of the architectural committee and enforcer of the HOA deed restrictions. She also took it upon herself to welcome all newcomers to the subdivision. As people moved in she would visit them, introduce herself and hand them a phone directory and a booklet with the HOA rules and deed restrictions. Eleanor pretty much controlled the over 2000 homes subdivision and everyone there greatly appreciated her for taking on that monumental task. The reason she gave for doing all of this she said was “when I drive through my subdivision, I want to love what I see”. The developers also showed their appreciation by naming a major street after her – Naremore Drive. Shortly after the passing of her beloved husband Bob, she decided to “retire”. She said, “I don’t want to do this anymore. I don’t want to do yardwork, clean house or anything anymore”. So, she moved to the Conservatory Senior Living Community on Cypresswood Dr. Eleanor was always a “social butterfly” so, that community fit her lifestyle perfectly. She lived there for many years until dementia set in. This quickly developed into Alzheimer’s and she had to move to Village Green Memory Care Home in Tomball where she live the until her passing on December 20, 2025. Eleanor is survived by her two sons, Steve, Rick and wife Susan; grandchildren, Austin Naremore, Lindsay Ard and Sarah Watson; great grandchildren, Julian, Owen, Everett, Miller, Piper and Walker.
