SOUTH PARIS – Eleanor (Frothingham) Heald, 79, of South Paris, died after an extended illness on October 31, 2010 at the Market Square Health Care Center in South Paris. She was born on October 26, 1931 in Lewiston, to William L. Frothingham and Marguerite (Brimigion) Frothingham. She grew up in South Paris and attended Paris schools. She worked in local shops until her marriage to Robert F. Heald on November 12, 1949. She was a loving, devoted and hardworking wife, mother and grandmother.

After many years as a homemaker, she returned to the work force in the laundry room at Andrews Nursing Home in South Paris. She worked her way up to become a CNA where she remained employed for 25 years. Her unassuming, gentle nature earned her recognition from staff and co-workers in 1988.
