Youngstown – Eleanor P. Johnson, 95, of Youngstown, passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning, February 4, 2025 with her loving family by her side.

She was born in Youngstown on November 5, 1929, the daughter of Richard and Magdalene (Balch) Butler. Eleanor was a lifelong area resident and graduated from South High School.

Besides being a proud homemaker, Eleanor was employed as a secretary for over 12 years at Boardman High School in the library. She was a true matriarch and always made her family her top priority. She had a soft spot for her grandchildren and great grandchildren and always looked forward to spending time with them. She also enjoyed spending time with her husband, Andrew, and they would go camping and to all kinds of auctions together. Eleanor also was an excellent cook and baker and her family will miss her homemade pies and strawberry jam which she shared with her family and neighbors. She always had an impeccable yard and enjoyed gardening along with riding her lawn tractor until the age of 90.
