Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 2 years, 7 months AGO
Eleanor "Ellie" Clare Beadles, born May 4, 1939, peacefully passed Aug. 26, 2023, at the age of 84.
Ellie was married to the love of her life, Donald Beadles, in 1971. In her words, "She won the brass ring" when she found Don.
They moved to Coeur d'Alene, where they raised their three children, Michael, Dan and Janelle.
In 1989, Don and Ellie moved to Kalispell, Mont. They instantly fell in love with Montana. Ellie lost Don in 2003 and remained very independent, living in Montana with her three cats and playing her country music 24/7.
Finally, in 2016, Ellie moved back to Idaho to be closer to family and continued to be her strong independent self, doting on her cats and enjoying her country music.
Ellie will be deeply missed by her three children, and their spouses, along with numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a few dear close friends.
At Ellie's request, there will be no services held.
Donations to any local animal shelter or Humane Society would honor her as she loved all animals and always did her part to help.
