Miss Lauretta M. Eno, 90, of Quincy, Ill., died Friday, June 3, 2005, in Blessing Hospital.
She was born March 13, 1915, in Sheboygan, Mich., a daughter of Edmund and Ida Mae (Troumbly) Eno. After graduating from high school in Biwabik, she attended St. Marys Hospital School of Nursing in Duluth and served there as a head nurse in 1936. In 1937 she entered Ancker Hospital in St. Paul and completed a post-graduate course. Following that Lauretta returned to St. Marys Hospital as a supervisor and instructor in communicable and tuberculosis nursing.
Miss Eno enlisted in the Navy Nurse Corps in December 1938 and saw duty on the East Coast and West Coast before being ordered to Hawaii where she was stationed at Pearl Harbor. She was on duty as an operating room/emergency room nurse there when the Japanese attacked the base on Dec. 7, 1941. She received some of the first casualties from the attack that day. In mid-1942 she went to the South Pacific to the hospital ship USS Solace, where she became chief nurse with the rank of lieutenant junior grade. In 1943 on Wallace Island she was assigned to escort Eleanor Roosevelt on one of her South Pacific tours for her husband, President Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the end of World War II she returned to civilian status and worked as an office nurse in Moscow, Idaho. In 1951 Miss Eno enrolled at Washington State College in Pullman, Wash., and after one year she transferred to the University of Minnesota, where she graduated with high distinction in 1955 while receiving her bachelors degree in nursing education and public health nursing. In 1956 she received her masters degree in nursing administration. She then served as director of nursing at Ryburn Hospital in Ottawa, Ill.
In October 1957 she was recruited to Quincy, Ill., by Blessing Hospital as director of nursing service and nursing education. In 1972 she was promoted to assistant administrator, in which position she served until her retirement in 1980. Her 23 years as Blessings chief nursing officer had profound impact on both the hospital and school of nursing. She was an innovative, creative pioneer of many initiatives to promote nursing service and education. She was instrumental in the development of Blessing Hospitals on-site child care center, intensive care unit, renal dialysis unit, long-term care and adult day care program. During her tenure the school earned full National League for Nursing accreditation and state and national recognition for the high achievement of its graduates on the national registry exam. To all who knew her, she was a decisive, dedicated and compassionate leader, a true champion for the nursing profession. Her decision to retire was influenced by her love and loyalty for her family.
In addition to serving on a number of community agencies, she was a former member of the American Nurses Association, National League for Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau and Altrusa. She maintained her devoted active status in St. Boniface Catholic Church, Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, Navy Nurse Corps Association and American Legion Post 37. Besides recognition for her many achievements at the hospital, Lauretta was named Boss of the Year in 1959 by the Quinsippi Chapter of the National Secretaries Association. She also received the 1978 Boss of the Year award from the Quincy Chapter of the American Business Womens Association and in 1993 received the Women of Achievement for Professions award given by the YWCA.
Survivors include her nephew, Ronald Eno of East Tawas, Mich.; her niece, Diane Eno Baunt of Battle Creek, Mich.; sister-in-law, Velma Eno of Reed City, Mich., and brother-in-law, Anthony Inchingolo of Sun City, Ariz.
She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Clarence and Vertin Eno; and four sisters, Lillian, Gladys and Marguerite Eno and Olive Mae Inchingolo.
