Obituary Apr 19, 2002 for Eleanor J. Holkestad

That may well be all that appeared in the paper. There are Obituaries and there are "death notices". The newspaper PE is the Press Enterprise http://www.pe.com/http://www.pe.com/and they have an online Obituaries search back before 2002 and no result comes up for Eleanor or her husband.
The Obituary/death notice as put on OTI reads:
Eleanor June (Kyllingstad) Holkestad (age) 81 (b.) Valley City, ND (d.) Sun City, CA, (obit/death notice appeared in) Press Enterprise, 2002-4-19 (volunteer who transcribed:) mts
They are buried in the Riverside National Cemetery.

You should post to Riverside County CA message boards as there may be a volunteer that will go to the library and look at back issue. The PE online search maybe incomplete or missing a longer obit.
