I just invited all of my friends to follow UA. Don’t feel obligated. Know that we respect our friends and won’t jam up your feed with useless information or junk. We’re not trying to drum up business. We’ve got more than we can say grace over, at the moment. But one never knows what will happen if you bring them to it.

This girl…has been the highlight of our Upton team for the past 10 months (give or take). Today we celebrated her as she makes her way to UGA to pursue her love - scientific research, and to obtain her PhD. We are blessed to have had her for the short time that we did! And boy did she accomplish a lot during her time with us! We’ll miss you Britany but we know you’ll be back!!

The North Carolina Masonry Contractors Association recently honored Eleanor Upton. Eleanor served as their executive director for more than 20 years.

06/28/2017

This wonderful portrait of Robert and Eleanor returned to our office today, where it will serve as a daily reminder of the loving watchfulness of this kind pair.

Eleanor Flowers Upton was united with her Lord and Savior and reunited with her beloved husband in heaven on Sunday, June 11, 2017, following an unexpected illness.

Eleanor was born to the late Hardie Allen Flowers and Lois Thorne Flowers on February 21, 1935 in Wake County. She resided in Red Oak and later Rocky Mount, where she met and married the late Robert McLean Upton, the love of her life, on May 21, 1955. Bob and Eleanor moved to Winston-Salem, where their daughter Barbara was born in 1958.

Eleanor spent most of her career in the hospitality and association management industry, forming Upton Associates, a meeting and association management firm, in 1976. Eleanor worked with Bob, Barbara, and later son-in-law Carlton Geiger, until she and Bob retired in 2012. Eleanor was a faithful, long-time member of her beloved Christ Episcopal Church in Raleigh.

Eleanor is survived by her daughter, Barbara Upton Geiger, and son-in-law, Carlton, whom she loved as if he were her own, and their children Robert and Margaret; son, Mark Nelson, daughter-in-law, Angie, and their children Ryan and Stephen. Eleanor also leaves behind four loving siblings, Janie Williams (Jay), Barbara Taylor, Fred Flowers (Joan) and Steve Flowers (Kathy), many other dear family members, and a multitude of special friends.

There are not sufficient words to describe Eleanor's loving, caring, and giving spirit. Those whose lives she touched are better for having known her. She loved without condition and that love was so graciously returned.

A service of Holy Eucharist will be held at Christ Episcopal Church on Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 11:00 am. A private interment of the ashes will be attended by the family. Christ Church is located at 120 E. Edenton Street, Raleigh NC 27601.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Christ Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 25759, Raleigh NC 27611-5778, the Basil Tucker Scholarship Fund, 3733 Benson Drive, Raleigh NC 27609 or the charity of one's choice.

Dearest friends, we are saddened to inform you of the passing of Eleanor Flowers Upton, mother, sister, friend, and mentor. Eleanor passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 11, 2017, following a brief illness.

Funeral arrangements will be announced later today.
