Obituaries

It is with deep sadness that I am reporting that my longtime dear friend and tenant activist Eleanor Walden of Berkeley, passed away last Friday, April 7, 2023. 

Eleanor, of Redwood Gardens in Berkeley, a mother of 5 children, and grandmother, a long time folk singer, tenant activist, civil rights and social justice activist, former Board Member of the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board, member of the East Bay Gray Panthers, member of the National Alliance of HUD Tenants (NAHT), member of the Save Section 8 Tenants Group in Berkeley, a member of the Resident’s Council at Redwood Gardens in Berkeley, and other groups, will be missed by many of those who knew her, and were friends with her through the years. 

She was very active in the tenants' movement, and she had a passion for advocating for tenant's rights, and protecting tenants from eviction. 

She was around 92 years of age when she passed away.
