Mrs. Eleanor Roan Shurr, 82, resident of Savannah, Georgia, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 11, 2022 at Candler Hospital surrounded by her loving family. Eleanor was born in Columbus, Georgia to the late Harold Johnson Pate and Gladys Whitley Pate and the first of eight children. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Robert Wells Roan, to whom she was happily married for 49 years. During this marriage, Eleanor lost her dearly beloved daughter, Karen Roan Bradley. Eleanor was blessed with love again with her marriage to her late second husband, Louis Vincent Shurr, with whom she shared a love of golf, music, travel, and zeal for life.
Eleanor retired from Southbridge as a Regional Realtor and settled in the community that she helped create and cherished. She loved her Southbridge community, her golf and support groups -- an extension of her family. What a strong, kind, generous, compassionate, and amazing woman. Eleanor could fill a room with overflowing physical affection for all her family and friends. Her goal to spread joy to all was apparent in her attending to personal details in each life that she touched. If there was ever a life well lived, it was most surely Eleanor's. She was the definition of success: respected and loved by both adults and children. So much love flowed from her, through her and to her. Eleanor's journey will continue on now, with a perfect set of wings. Because of her love for others, so will her love live on in us. In her last moments, Eleanor's final words spoke true to how she felt and the person she was, "Love you all, Love you all". Goodbye to a wonderful woman and beautiful soul. She will be dearly missed.

Survivors include her son, Robert Scott Roan (Kristine); grandchildren, Jenna Roan Creson (Aaron), Justin Kyle Bradley (Brittany), and Brandon Jordan Roan; Great-Grandchildren: Rory Scott Roan, Raelynn Belle Creson, and Knox Kenyon Bradley.
