Elinore Dial, 91, most recently residing at Providence Pavilion, died Sunday, April 10. Although Elinore leaves no relatives behind, she will be remembered by all the people she met in community theatre as a strong, opinionated, talented, unique individual who touched so many lives. She graduated from Marysville, Ohio, High School and Ohio State University. After teaching for several years, and working at WCET when it first began as educational television, she went on to a long career at Cincinnati Gas and Electric. But her beloved avocation was directing plays for community theatres. She was an immensely talented director. She understood plays with an instinctive intelligence, honed through much training and vast experience. She won many awards for her shows, the most impressive of which was a Corbett Award for a musical revue that won a national amateur theatre competition and was performed before Princess Grace in Monaco.
