Read More	Obituary from Osceola Sentinel newspaper, Osceola, IA: Eleanor Wake Weeter, 95 of Afton, former Murray and Osceola resident died Saturday, July 26, 2008 at the Afton Care Center at the age of 95 years, one month and 21 days. Eleanor died of complications following a stroke. Eleanor Redean Booth was born June 5, 1913 at Thayer, Iowa the third of seven children born to Cloyd Oral Booth and Bertrice Mary Crandall Booth. The family was affiliated with the Methodist Church at Thayer. Eleanor attended school in Thayer, and later attended the brand new Thayer Consolidated School and graduated from Thayer High School with the class of 1931. On August 15, 1931 she was united in marriage to Ivil Jackson Wake, known to all as Jack Wake, in Union County and they began their married life farming south of Thayer. After a short time they moved to Thayer and remained there where they owned and operated a trucking business. There, two children were born to them, Patricia Joan and Jack Rodney. In 1945 they bought a farm near Murray where another child, Janice Diane was born. Jack and Eleanor raised their children there, were members of the Murray Methodist Church and remained on the farm until Jack's death in 1972. Eleanor moved to Osceola in 1974. Eleanor and a lifelong friend Wayne Weeter were married in 1981. Eleanor continued living at her house in Osceola until 2007. Eleanor was a hard worker, first by necessity by helping with four younger siblings, and second by the normal tasks of being a farm homemaker. She was a person of many interests and talents. Very early in her marriage Eleanor began to collect historical items and antiques and continued to collect them all her life. Antiques were her passion and she amassed a large collection of antiques. Some of her happiest times were spent locating, cleaning, restoring and saving antiques. Eleanor was a person who could do things with her hands. Not just baking and cooking in which she excelled, but also in decorating her house, making braided rugs, crewel embroidered draperies, her own Christmas Decorations, and painting. Those who knew Eleanor only in the later years may find it hard to picture Eleanor on a high ladder painting the barn, the house, and all the outbuildings at her parents' farm, but she did that. She also painted the house and most of the buildings on their own farm near Murray, several times, and the interiors of all her houses, many, many times. Eleanor shared her talents with others, particularly in the several years she served as 4H Counselor. She excelled at making ceramics and for a few years took orders for, and made custom ceramic items for others. For 12 years, she raised and sold prize English Bulldogs. Eleanor had beautiful handwriting and was a gifted writer. Her letters to grandsons describing her travels to California, Oregon, Utah, and Hawaii were cherished keepsakes. On one occasion she composed a poem about one of her daughter Diane's prize Koi fish, and the poem was published in a national magazine. Eleanor considered herself to be a perfectionist and as a result was often not pleased with her own work or accomplishments. Many of her disappointments were the result of things not turning out as she had envisioned them. Eleanor always encouraged others, especially her children, to pursue their education in whatever field they chose. She believed that lifelong learning and hard work were basic requirements for a successful life. Eleanor is survived by three children; Patricia Joan Johnson and husband Paul of Murray, Jack Rodney Wake and wife Beverly of Wichita, Kansas and Janice Diane Boller and husband Robert of Bend, Oregon. She is survived by five grandsons, Joel Johnson and wife Lila of Norwalk, Mark Johnson and wife Kathleen of Murray and Jay Johnson of Murray. Jack Martin Wake of Wichita and Jeffrey Wake and wife Andrea of Wichita. Eleanor was also blessed with four great grandchildren; Brandon Johnson, Ashleigh Motzko and husband Ed, Rachel Wake, Jeffrey Wake and one great-great grandchild, Sage Motzko. She is also survived by one sister, Elberta Rider of Murray, one sister-in-law, Mary Booth of Creston and a number of nephews, nieces and friends. Eleanor was preceded in death by her first husband Jack Wake; her second husband Wayne Weeter; her parents Cloyd and Bertrice Booth; sisters and brothers Theola Booth Herring, Fred Booth, Helen Stoner, Richard Booth and Elmer Booth who died in the service of our country in World War II.
