Eleanor Angeal Ochoa

Eleanor Angeal Ochoa was born on March 28, 1969, to Antonio Ochoa Almanza and Connie Ramona Gonzales in Murray Utah. Eleanor’s life has always been defined by her passion for serving people, and endless love for her family and friends. The love she shared with her family began with her parents, and radiated to her children, grandchildren, sisters and numerous nieces and nephews. 

To Eleanor, her parents, children and grandchildren have  always been the focus and loves of her life, and she spent her days showing them how much she cared and loved each of them. 

Eleanor is survived by her son Tony A. and  his wife Riley Ochoa, daughter Lachelle Gonzalez, and her four grandchildren Angelina Ochoa, Anabella Ochoa, Mila Ochoa and Christian Ace Ochoa. 

Eleanor has always shown extraordinary pride love, and caring for her family. Like her parents the connection to her Mexican heritage has been a staple in her life. Eleanor’s pride in her heritage was ever present in her daily life, and was reflected in the Spanish Language she spoke, music she listened and danced to, and the food she loved to prepare. 

Eleanor had flare for life, everyday was a new adventure for her and she relished in every moment. Her passion for life and experiencing new things was always at the forefront of her existence, she loved capturing the moment and sharing what she learned. Elly followed in her mothers footsteps, she knew no stranger and was the first to lend a helping hand, and open her home to everyone. Elly’s laugh was contagious, you could not help but smile in her presence and she would brighten your day. The bright light of our lives will be deeply missed but never forgotten, we will cherish our memories and keep her spirit alive in our hearts.

Eleanor passed away at home on December 04, 2023. She loved our lord Jesus, she enjoyed reading the bible, and discussing the passages on her daily call with her favorite Aunt Bernice Vigil.
