In 1954, Eleanor Cates and Mavis Lee Oakley, who had left Hong Kong due to the Korean War, boarded a ship and set sail to return to Hong Kong since the war had ended.\u00a0 In 1974, when Principal John and Norma Jean Burnette and their family decided to leave Hong Kong, the principalship of the high school (Wing Kwong College) fell on the shoulders of then assistant principal Miss Cates. She served for 41 years in Hong Kong and retired from World Missions Ministries in November 1988.\u00a0 Eleanor then felt a calling to Israel where she served after her retirement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe IPHC missionary family extends its condolences to the Cates and Rousseau families.\u00a0 Eleanor lived and modeled an extraordinary life.\u00a0 She was a faithful servant and a revered missionary. Her legacy in Hong Kong continues to bear fruit.\u201d \u2013 Bishop Talmadge Gardner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
