Eleanor R. (Shanteau) Lang

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mom, Eleanor "Ellie" R. Lang, age 91, of Oregon, Ohio, on January 24, 2025 at the Landings of Oregon. Ellie was born on October 10, 1933, in Toledo, Ohio, to Raymond and Lexie Shanteau. She was a 1951 graduate of Libbey High School. Ellie married the love of her life, Donald E. Lang, on December 1, 1956. They were married for 57 years and lived in Toledo for many years before moving to Bradenton, Florida where they lived for over 20 years until Don's passing in 2013. Ellie moved to Walbridge, Ohio in 2016 and has lived at the Landings of Oregon for the last couple of years.

Ellie worked in various office jobs throughout the years. She had many hobbies including sewing, reading, doll collecting, square dancing, bingo, and playing cards and dice games. She was best known for her quick wit, sense of humor, and kindness.
