Eleanor Wargo Edling
On September 2nd, 2026, our beloved Eleanor Wargo Edling, best known as ‘Mom-mom’, passed surrounded by the comfort of her loved ones and her pastor in her admired Hopewell Boro home. Mom-Mom was passionately proud of her Hungarian heritage and distilled her cultural traditions to those around her. Mom-mom, in her words, dedicated 47 years of service to the “best job ever” at Hopewell Elementary School where she held multiple roles but could be most remembered for her orange peeling, morning bus duty, and notorious whistling for the student’s choir concerts.
Additionally, Eleanor was a proud member of Hopewell Chapter of Order of the Eastern Star #112, as well as Pennington Grange #64
Services to celebrate Eleanor’s life will be held September 12, 2026, 11:00am at the Calvary Baptist Church, In Hopewell New Jersey. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Hopewell Calvary Baptist Church. Arrangements are under the control of Blackwell Memorial Home (www.blackwellmh.com)
