Family, friends, community leaders and many of California’s most prominent elected officials are grieving and remembering Eleanor Johns, former chief of staff to the Mayor of San Francisco and current member of the San Francisco Airport Commission, who died suddenly of a heart attack on March 31, 2023.

She was also a formidable presence in the cultural life of San Francisco for the past half century. Service livestreams on YouTube.
