After graduating from LCBM, and later from the University of Western Ontario, she returned to Ontario Bible College with her husband, Rev. Gordon Wright, who taught history at OBC for many years.

When Gordon's eyesight failed, Eloise supported him by reading aloud every student essay and exam, and recording the grades he assigned.

Due to her keen interest and expertise in archiving, and her work in organizing displays for the 90th anniversary celebrations of the school, Eloise was asked to create archives for Tyndale including records and material from both founding schools in Toronto and London.

Historical documents, books, audiovisuals, photographs and records were catalogued and preserved. Information about previous alumni and faculty was collected, and a heritage room was established to display the school's past.

Her work, from 1985 to 2003, in preserving links to the past in tangible form continues to inform and inspire researchers and the Tyndale community.

Eloise passed away on July 7, 2024.
