Mary Elliott

Mary, finally, at her home on Fish Creek, was able to let all her earthly struggles slip away. She was surely welcomed unto God's unchanging hands on November 6, 2013. She's no doubt, joyfully in the Eternities with all her loved ones. She died from metastatic colon cancer. Mary touched many lives while on her bold adventure of life. Her smile and voice were truly infectious. People first met, didn't remain strangers long. She was not very receptive to recognition, but she was accomplished and gifted in so many areas. She was always true to her word and did the best job possible. Mary touches so many peoples' hearts. Through her faith, she set a great example for others. She loved life and people. She was a giver. She had a joyful heart and one would feel that. When she entered a room, she stood out in a crowd with her loving presence. A wonderful organizer and worker, on so many community projects. She was a devout Catholic. It was said more than once, "Mary - you need to change and join the Church. You'd make a great Relief Society President". Mary's faith was so very strong. Because of that faith, she was able to overcome many of life's adversities. Mary's older brothers, "Pud and Max", both died in 2008. She is survived by a brother, Joe and wife Marilyn, in Texas. A sincere appreciation is expressed to the Doctors and Staffs of the Wayne County Medical Clinic and Pharmacy, the Central Utah Clinic in Provo and the Gunnison Valley Home Health and Hospice. At a future date, a Mass will be offered up for Mary. Also in the spring, a memorial get together for friends and family will take place in Torrey. She asked that remembrances of her be in the form of donations to St. Anthony of the Desert Catholic Church in Torrey, Utah 84775. As she would sign her notes, "Blessings"
