Eleanor Elaine (Nordstrom) Weston
Obituary
Eleanor "Ellie" Weston passed away peacefully, surrounded by family. Born in San Francisco to Edith Eleanor (Magnuson) and Gustave A. Nordstrom and raised in Millbrae with her brother Gerald. Ellie was proud of her Swedish heritage and an early love of horses.
A graduate of Burlingame High School, she married Frederick Crikos and had a son, John. In 1968, she married James Edward Weston Jr. and together, they raised a blended family. After moving to Morgan Hill in 1976, Ellie became deeply involved in the community. She volunteered in youth programs and served more than 45 years with the Morgan Hill Historical Society. Ellie was a dedicated supporter at community and patriotic events.
She is remembered for her elegance, wit, warmth and gracious spirit – always offering support, and a welcoming home to family and friends alike. Ellie is survived by her children: John (Lisa), Kristi (Clint), and Walter (Cindy); stepchildren Cynthia (Chris), and Steven (Wendy); eight grandchildren; and eleven great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, siblings, and grandson Weston Chapman.
A Celebration of Life will be held July 6, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Villa Mira Monte. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Morgan Hill Historical Society, www.morganhillhistoricalsociety.org.
