Dorcas married Curnell Elliott and from this union had 6 lovely children 5 girls and a boy, as if they were not enough, she decided to adopt one more. Dorcas passion was to workout. When she wasn't working then she could be found working out either at the gym or one of the local tracks getting her miles in! Dorcas loved to travel and some of her favorite destinations were to California, Florida and even an occasional trip to the Bahamas. Outside of being a traveler and great mom, she was also our beloved Grannie! As much as she loved her kids, she loved her grandkids as well as her great grandkids just as much. Grannie could be found playing tea party or jump rope and twerking with the grandkids or just loving on them whenever she got a chance! Sometimes the love had to be tough love, but you always knew the love was there from Grannie. Grannie, mom, mommy, Dorcas was a woman of many names and was a beautiful soul and a great woman that added so much to so many peoples lives.
