Eldenia L. Ganskop, 71, of Beaufort, SC passed away on Sunday June 1st after a courageous battle with cancer. Her devoted husband Tim was by her side. She fought the good fight. She was born February 6th, 1954 in Lee County, NC daughter of Elworth and Norma T. Blakely. She graduated from Greenwood High School class of 1972, and earned an Associates Degree from Sandhills Community College. She was a retired flight attendant with Piedmont Airlines and U.S. Airways. She married her husband Tim in 1997. They resided in Durham for many years before moving to Beaufort, a place they both loved from the beginning of their life together. Long time friends remember her funny stories, infectious laugh and learned the real meaning of friendship. She was a true Tarheel and an avid fan of UNC basketball. She loved beach music and beach towns and knew every word of every song Willie sang. She loved animals and they loved her. Left to cherish her memory are her beloved husband Tim of Beaufort and her loving sister Carmen Thompson of Sanford, NC. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matt. 5:4) Respectfully honoring her wishes, there will be no service.
