Elbert served in the Army during the Korean War and was stationed in Germany. He later became a Tyler police officer after his service, then a proud truck driver. Elbert was also a proud member of the Tyler St. John Masonic Lodge. He enjoyed bass fishing, deer hunting and tractor work involving brush hogging. Elbert was a great, humorous, loving, and most important of all, a Christian man that will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Elbert is survived by his children Glen (Katherine) Elliott Jr., Tammi Elliott, Bobby (Angie) Elliott and Jana Elliott; sisters Mary Jernigan and Mildred Phillips; sister-in-law Glenda Stinecipher; 9 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
Elbert is preceded in death by his loving wife of 55 years Ellen Stinecipher Elliott; parents John and Ruth Elliott; brother Burl Elliott; and great-grandson Kyle Welch.
A special thank you to the Watkins-Logan Veterans Home nurses and staff for the love given to our Father.
