Doss Bert Elliott passed away peacefully on January 3, 2015. He was 93. Bert was born June 2, 1921, to Lola and Doss Elliott of Drumright, Oklahoma. The Elliott family relocated from Oklahoma to the Seattle area in the late 1920’s. Bert attended school at both Broadway and O’Day.
Bert was a proud member of the 205th Coast Artillery Army Regiment- Battery B, during WWII.
After the service he returned to Seattle and worked for Foremost Dairy until his retirement in 1976. He and his wife, Eileen “Jeri” Elliott (who preceded him in death in 2010) lived in Maple Valley. They loved to go camping, fishing and bowling together.
Bert is survived by his grandchildren and his many nieces and nephews. His nephew, Tom Elliott was like a son to Bert and was a constant for Bert in the latter part of his life.
The family would like to especially thank Providence Hospice and Arbor Village for their kindness and support over the last few years of Bert’s life.
Rest in Peace, Uncle Bert.
Services will be held at 2:00 pm January 15th @ Greenwood Memorial Park, 350 Monroe Ave N.E. Renton, WA. 98056
