Elonore Papadakis' Obituary
Eleonore Papadakis, 78, of Brandywine, Maryland passed away at her home in Brandywine, Maryland on February 28, 2019.
She was born on 23 August 1940 in Wetzlar, Germany. Nora worked, and retired from NASA Goddard Space Center as a Data Analyst.
She enjoyed outdoor activities such as mushroom hunting, fishing, and camping. She loved bird watching, especially hummingbirds, which she fed all winter. She loved the companionship of her dogs, Bucky and Tink.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Erna and Ernest Mosteller, and granddaughter, Jacinta Papadakis.
She is survived by her husband, Robert Buckler; her children Iris Campbell, Dimitrios Papadakis and his wife Judy; her grandchildren Patrick Papadakis and Ryan Campbell; her siblings, Rick Mosteller and his wife Lynda, Andrea Sanford and her husband William and Patricia (Sissy) King and her husband Richard.
Lovingly referred to as “Auntie NoNo”, we will miss Nora’s true warmth, generosity, humor... and her thick, beautiful, and often comedic German accent.
Family service is 6 March 2019 at Raymond Funeral Home in La Plata, Maryland with a viewing 10am to 12 noon. Memorial service at 12:00. The burial is at Trinity Memorial Gardens in Waldorf between 1 and 1:15pm.
Memorial contributions may be made to Sugar Faces Rescue online at www.sugarfacesrescue.org or mailed to P. O. Box 1550, Lexington Park, Maryland 20653. This is an organization that rescues senior dogs abandoned in the Southern Maryland area that Eleonore took to heart in the past year.
