Obituary

Eleonore M. Harle, 92 of Indianapolis, passed away on Thursday, September 26, 2024. She was born to the late Michael and Anna Jungbauer. 

She is survived by her son Hans (Heather) Harle; grandson Reece Harle and four siblings Margot (Karl) Berghofer, Marlene (Helmut) Frisch, Eckehardt Jungbauer and Adolf (Katy Vincent) Jungbauer. She is preceded in death by both parents; husband Johann "Hans" Harle and three sisters Inge (Louis) Pick, Irene (Norbert) Loose, and Gerdi (Robert) de Moncuit.

Eleonore was born in Munich, 1932. The second of eight children, "Lore" would often be described as a social butterfly.  Her love of nature directed her to an apprenticeship as a florist. Her outgoing personality allowed her to find work as an actress and model in Germany. WIth a strong sense of Wanderlust, travel was a must for Lore. Having crossed the Atlantic several times by ship, Lore would eventually call Chicago home.  A supportive group of friends and family helped Lore settle into a new city. Lore met Johann, "Hans", in Chicago, marrying in 1967. Their son, Hans, was born in 1971. A few years later, they would move to Indianapolis due to Hans' employment at World Wide Motors. Being the social butterfly, Lore created friendships that would last throughout her life. Lore's husband passed away in 1988 after several grueling years of cancer treatment. With her husband deceased and son grown up, Lore went back to her love of floristry working at several southside locations.  Volunteering was important to Lore, always finding time to assist at the Children's Museum, Hunger Inc, and for several other causes. Lore loved and adored her grandson, Reece. Every visit to Oma's house would include some educational component regarding music, art, nature, or history. Lore had the energy and optimism of a much younger person, still driving a manual transmission at the age of 92. Her love and commitment to others will not be forgotten, nor easily replaced.  

Lore passed away in the presence of friends and family.

In lieu of flowers, financial contributions in memory of Eleonore can be made to Sisters of Saint Benedict at www.benedictine.com or Saint Meinrad at www.saintmeinrad.edu

Memories & Tributes

💔It comes with great sadness to have lost a loving, caring soul and one of our very own at Gary Greenhouse. Eleonore was known by many on the Southside Indy community and many knew her from behind our counter; a twenty year employee (2019)but to us she was more, extended mom, grandmother/great grandmother. Everyone who came to the greenhouse thought she was the German Grandmother/owner, most times we would not correct.❤️Many still ask about her when visiting and most, like us, will have an empty place in their hearts upon hearing of her passing. She was so many different things to so many, she will be greatly missed.🙏May she always rest in peace with the love of her life and walk along side her creator in His garden. Melinda Gary

Eleonore was a bright light in this world. She always had a story to tell and I loved listening to them. She was funny and could make you laugh out loud! She was so proud of her heritage. She loved her family and enjoyed her volunteer work. It was a pleasure to know her.. I will miss her at Christmas and Thaksgving and celebrating our Grandson's Birthday. Rest in Peace Eleonore.
