BOARDMAN - Beloved mother, Eleanor Kovalcik, 98, passed away on Monday, Aug. 1, 2011, at Northside Hospital following a short illness as she was surrounded by her devoted family.

Eleanor was a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Boardman.
Eleanor is survived by her three daughters, Eleanor (Skip) Miller of Boardman, Jean (Neil) Baldelli of Boardman, and Janice (Mike) Giba of Columbiana.
